Haiku for Japan, III

Haiku for Japan

by Ysabel de la Rosa

Apocalypse came

in a single wave. The four

horsemen had no chance.

   

*   

Corkscrew, sandal, vase

Last vestiges of loved ones

All that is left now

*

He lost all of them

Family wiped off the earth

Who understands this?

*

 Stand, start, must move soon

Now not the time to think, feel

Just stand, start, move--on

*

For love is stronger

than death, storm, quake, wave. Love

is--must be--stronger
