judie's haiku after no more tear
judie is a friend of mine. A colleague of ours met his death in a motorcycle crash tonight. He was a member of her kibbutz. I taught 2 of his kids. Here is her haiku
fatal futile
fucked forever
funeral sun
judie s
june 24 just after midnight

technical notes
I'm sorry for the inspiration.
The alliteration here and the rhythm both seem to highlight the sun at the end of the piece. There seems to be a relatively driving trochaic beat and then it flips up with an iamb at the end. I don't know if it's an intentional "lifting up" of the sun--and whatever symbolism that might bring--but it caught my eye with a range of possibilities.
reposession
rest relieving
reticent light

Not haiku just yet, having seen birth (one) and of course the younguns, delightful, and have seen many impending deaths and several in persona, moments of death are, unfortunately, often not very celebratory. Hospice has gone a long ways in helping change that, and for sure I'd like a celebratory mood around my own demise, JA!, but it's all to often a gasping, or a suddern interruption, with mixed feelings, from relief to despair.
old man looks up and out
his family around him
he passes on
christmas eve
hue fron tree lights
glow into darkened room
old man takes his last sip of soup
"that's enough," he says
becoming radiant in the soft darkness
"I'll never have sex again," she said,
helped her into bed,
"I have a prolapsed uterus."
Doctor went in to see her
He told me to pull the plug
She died that night, HIV+ mother.
He lay there,
gasping.
Margie held him.
Margie did the same
I held her hand
she smiled at me.
