Moth,
trapped in cobweb…
one-wing flutter
☯️
tanka:
I feel sad
for my cell phone,
knitting up the
raveled sleeve
of charge
☯️
City broils…
tinkle-chuffle
of the grate
☯️
Dayflowers,
not quite stained…
fallen squire
☯️
Baby’s wail,
squeak of the well pulley…
noon mayflies
☯️
The eloquence
of flame…
licking the keep
☯️
Fire engine’s whine,
higher, more hollow…
Tuesday heat
☯️
Wish I knew
birds by their song…
(kind of blindness)
☯️
Farewell
to my old toilet…
strange sadness
☯️
Ah, love…
a four-hour break
between screaming
☯️
Centuries
don’t swirl…they drop
like rocks
☯️
Hummingbird
at sunset, swaying
with a pine
☯️
One match,
scratched to the sill…
storm outside
☯️
tanka:
Impatient
to be turned on,
party lights
wink
in the sunset
☯️
You’ll die…
but for today
put your shoes on
☯️
Stink of diesel fumes
en route
to the lotus
☯️
Rain stains…
but cannot menace
the fire
☯️
