Happy Haiga Day!

Here's a haiga from January 20, 2017 that I'm reprising today.  Now, nearly four years later, we know that what we once thought was a mask, is a full-out evil visage.  Sadly, in the time of a pandemic, we now wish he would wear a real Covid mask.

Un-Happy Haiga Day!

In recognition of the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsberg--civil rights advocate extraordinaire.

Ruth

The woman wore
crocheted net gloves--
clearly, an anti-fashion
fashion tease.
Her gloves were a
tribute to the skill of
generations of women
who created beauty
and complexity
within a net of society.
She knew full well
that one day, the net
would be turned
inside out to release
the little fishes and
snag the leviathan.

we'd been waiting
two months for the turtle
eggs to hatch

today, viewing the debris,
we hope for the best
