Early-Onset Haiku

" Early-Onset Haiku "

by Suzán Jiván

I

Early-onset genes
bursts of gunfire snapping
familiar three rounds

II

Unfamiliar sounds
allies turning enemies
inside the wire

III

Larger spending cuts
in a bruised election year
bunkered guard towers

IV

Homeowners foreclosed
filings reaching the ceiling
rounds being fired

V

Memories fading
remaining complications
fearing mutations

VI

Children frolicking
diseases involving trees
latest in a string

VII

Combatively strapped
blatant animosities
officials believe

VIII

Joint-training models
lightning and apologies
tossed about bodies...
