Haikus for Healing

By las banditas chukson

#1

sweet dusk songs of calm,

walk mi barrio, humble

to loved ones, I pray.

#2

sun shines brightly now 

moon shines nightly wow, may these 

blessings heal my heart. 

#3

sitting on a cloud 

she sees the good days ahead 

sunshine. rain. starlight. 

las banditas chukson, lbc, is a collective of QPOC writer-artists who believe in the healing powers of place and of words. They bring words together to truth talk, to re-collect, and to imagine. Members of lbc have been known to drop their words in the form of haikus in the desert and on the street. They wrote a grip of haikus meant to bring hope, joy and peace during this time.
