I wish
I could be reborn
a loquat tree ---
then I would not
love you so much

"RIBBONS" Tanka Society of America Journal Tanka Cafe Theme: Leafless Autumn

how dazzling ---
beyond the horizon
are those who
never return to me, you
and the breeze from our summer

like clouds
vanishing from a puddle
that morning
my father
silently disappeared
