Tanka

 

midnight

a drunken reveler

sings to the moon

…his lone

companion

blinking in the gloam

with one letter now darkened

s_lvation army

fades into the evening

weary eyes will not take heed

with fingers pointing

anger, death, and destruction

no middle ground

corners hastily chosen

another day yet looms close

eyes locking

their reflections mirrored

thoughts anticipated

with knowing smiles

walking into the sunset

crab apples

I smile,

and wonder

how many took flight in all

of those childhood years….

Through the

early morning clouds

I search

for the moon

in hiding

What I remember

comic books read by the day…

heroes dreamt by night

oh, all such fond memories!

tripping over my childhood

sun shines

without fail

 

two seasons,

quietly pass

 

lost in our

daydreams

 

thoughts, life, clouds

silently drift

 

this bliss,

forever our curse

sunday afternoon

arrivals…both far and wide

familial connections

distant past meets the present

hellos, tears….captured moments

day must turn to night

tomorrow brings new promise

seeks humanity

world short of—empathy

what is our true reflection?
