Five haiku on the year 2023

I

she went all quiet 
the mother of all children
aghast and silent 

II

where will I find breath 
as children of all mothers
lie lifeless and choked 

III

come alive and chant 
you sisters of all brothers
tune your voice and sing

IV

sing for what, they cried 
the brothers of all sisters
fists raised in anger

V

twenty twenty three
the father of all fathers
sighs in the darkness
