Tanka Sequence

Saturday

alone together

each in a separate room

a desert apart

the dryness moves closer

into thoughts and feelings

mixed intentions

confusion in our thoughts

creates an impasse

a hot meal eaten

 in cold silence

words chosen with care

soft and harmless with no bite

we slip past the pain

the unspoken promise

of a return to normal

Ribbons

Tanka

eons and eons

wearing away time and rocks

long before we were born

was it a plan ordained

that we met that summer night?

concrete tunnels

the hard shapes of steel and glass

reaching upward

a manmade world

connected by sky

Gean, 2011

Tanka for winter

moonlight

blue-black shadows

across the snow;

daylight shapes become

my new ghosts

Haibun

                                                              ALONE

Coffee in the café, her daily routine.  Many of the same faces.  Busy people.  Lonely people.  Happy. Sad.  She was one of many.  Who cared?  Did she?  Not enough.  Would she die like this, uncaring and uncared for?

                                                        full winter moon

                                                        in the wind

                                                       shadows touch
