at Confirmation...
two old timers
reminiscing
about the names
of their patron saints
_______________
reading her list
of instructions
left on the counter...
'back soon
love mother'
_______________
shouting at ghosts
in the deep of night ...
I start to understand
why politicians perform
the way they do

particularly like that last tanka - very timely
ReplyDeleteI loved your second Tanka. You have to read deeply into the poem to get the imbedded meaning within the piece. What a great poem,
