among fresh fields

trains pour Madrid -
arrêt brutal
avant le quai

pianto d'uomini -
sul volto della luna
solo un'ombra
men's tears
on the moon face
one shadow

dopo lo schianto
carcasse di uomini
corteccia vuota
after the crash
men's corpses
empty rind

matin de mars
corps déchirés, morts, blessés
no passara

André Cayrel (France) - haiku-fr

au restaurant
français rieurs et bruyants
espagnols silencieux
manifestation
visage d'une femme
sans commentaire
on sait qui c'est
de la bouche des lycéens :
hijos de putas
à la frontière
ils tremblent pour l'alcool
200 morts
vent violent
larmes au coin des yeux
de la douanière

Anguished and hurting, for the people of Spain, at this dark moment.

age-old vineyard
this year's vintage
sours in the barrel
spring's false promise -
blossoms
torn from the tree
spring storm
all our flags
bespattered
channel-surfing
every picture
the same colour

André Duhaime (Canada) - haiku-fr

embrasse ton enfant
maintenant ... dans une heure
qui sait

waiting and waiting
babies uncollected
at the creche

diablo winds
ashes from Spain linger

nella notte

matin d'effroi-
des bombes dans une gare
les cris des paons

Soleil sur les larmes.
La foule tourne vers le ciel
ses paumes blanches.

André Cayrel (France)

nuit de Madrid
bien au dessus des parapluies
des mains ouvertes

Carole MacRury (USA)

savage wind -
a field of poppies
ripped and torn
red earth -
a kiss goodbye
remembered
Madrid -
with spring rains
a flood of tears
Murdered
before his Easter lily
bloomed
March night -
an old bull turns
from the red
A train in Madrid -
so many cell phones
unanswered
late at night -
dreaming the red
of terrorist blood

Moussia Fantoli (Italie)

quel che rimane:
la traccia del rossetto
sulla tazzina
what remains:
the lipstick trace
on the teacup

Gilbert Lazar (France)

Attentat, deuil, fin
Tendres fleurs de prunus roses
Printemps de la mort

Francis Tugayé (France)

Soleil sur les larmes.
La foule tourne vers le ciel
ses paumes blanches.
an apple rolls out
from a workman's lunch box
Atocha station

-- in memory of the 192 persons whose lives were stolen from them, from those they loved, and from their hopes of a better future. Let us remember them!

Many of the 191 victims, like this imagined one from the Dominican Republic, were immigrants trying to find a new life.
