Tanka Cafe Theme:Vegetables
quietly
in a corner of the kitchen
I'd like to sprout--
in order to escape
from the potato masher
Selected Tanka
a melody
of the Galaxy--
I listen
for memories that left
with a shooting star
what might gad
be trying to tell us--
in the laboratory
internal organs infected
painlessly
like a sky
studded all over
with opals,
he died
at the age of forty-two
Tanka Cafe: Theme: Winter Warmth
to warm
there is plum sake--
contemplating
the first half of my life
I wander back here
Selected Tanka
though advised
to have surgery
I want
to stay a woman--
so faint
the song of the stream
