lost birds


coming home 
from the rally 
for justice and peace—
a shimmer of stars,
the smell of baking bread

     ~GUSTS 19: spring/summer 2014
the twin beams
of the Tribute in Light
go dark. . . 
10, 000 lost birds
find their way home

     ~Atlas Poetica 17: March 2014

    Thanks for your "socially conscious" tanka. These two pair up well. I especially love these lines:

    a shimmer of stars,
    the smell of baking bread
