1793

France has declared a national state of emergency and tightened borders after at least 128 people were killed in a night of gun and bomb attacks in Paris.
Eighty people were reported killed after gunmen burst into the Bataclan concert hall and took hostages before security forces stormed the hall.
People were shot dead at restaurants and bars at five other sites in Paris. At least 180 people were injured
These are the deadliest attacks in Europe since the 2004 Madrid bombings

surreal drama -
blood the price for a ticket
of loss dreams

veins of wrath -
the blood of innocents salts
tears again

peace peace -
when will words of harmony
ring true

Cloudshaping

i prayed myself out of a bad dream; woke up way before the dawn, exhausted; couldn't go back to sleep brewed some tea and turned on the TV with a pack of plaintain chips in one hand, and there was President Obama making the announcement (live) on CNN that the al Quaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was slain

clouds shaping
the morning sky
a dove alit on
the electric wire

with a hint of smoke
