Crescent-Moon Haiku Set

In Kiev, the chess game
was stolen by rebel pieces,
shaking off the fear

in Freedom Land it
was a foot-note, except to
the eyes of the wise

who'd have thought a few
dirty-tricks would cause more than
blood for Sochi T.V.??

meanwhile, the zombies
discuss Salinger, juggling
shrunken talking heads

and Kiev's bakers dance
on asphalt volcanoes flush
with wild verdant moss
