Kai Michael Neumann Poet Haiku

Peace

transference

mind field in transit

lost in modern translation -

translucent echoes


bog snorkeling

in trenches of fear

submerged breathless for glory -

mud medals and God


mushroom cloud

trench foot ankle deep

fanfares baptize innocence -

bugles sound defeat


cross fire

rising from ashes

foot marks lost on dead ascent -

sandalwood fragrance


saviour

threshold of demise

guns blaze sweet smell of freedom -

hell gates wide open


objection

lambs to the slaughter

leavened bread chokes redemption -

arms to frontal lobe


white flag

surrender exposed

blood dried on fabric of time –

bleached conscience retrieved
