Darfur Equinox

March 24, 2008

–HaikuSonnet

it’s raining as I
sit here with a stash of two
buck chuck’s finest wine

we drink in paper
cups celebrating when the
sun sits directly

at the equator
a world away we ignore
rape, torture, murder

a movement of time
a Darfur fast march to death
ignored genocide

while we buy organic sprouts,
wine at Trader Joe’s
