Spring Tanka (Day 462)

Slowly, seasons rise.

Cicadas dream of flying.

Snapping Tulip flags.

Violets keep their own counsel.

Consider the unfallen rain.

Spring Tanka (Day 449)

Deep, full breath of spring.

Windows thrown open at last.

Even the house sighs.

The peach blossoms assure me:

This is not a rehearsal.

Angel (Day 359)

Hands flower heat expands

Mist annoints an oatmeal angel

One poised dewdrop succeeds

Sirens call joy children pout

Suddenly brown petals play

Torn committees flutter

Green shadows tax the humid wind

Nearby frogs are chiding

Hygge Tanka (Day 344)

On windows, frost blooms

Steam unravels from damp wool

Fire sighs and settles

Melting daylight drips like gold

Silent as cats, drafts slink in

Indulgence No. 2 (Day 229)

Sirens, my old photos.

Luring me with silvery songs:

“Real love, true, forevermore—”

Leave me wrecked on the reef of Now,

Nightmares of happiness circling.

Faithful Sky (Day 192)

Faithful sky, waiting,

Unconditionally blue,

For the clouds to pass.

I always believed in you.

No storm can last forever.
