certain bills due, leaving the night news on mute #senryu

on the pleasure boat, his conversation blends in with sea and air-i stare way off #monotanka #tanka

lonely child playing with stick figures sweltering heat #senryu

#monotanka are about 15 to 18 words long. one line #senryu are less thirteen words long of something like that.

on a night bus thinking of rape blossoms and more #senryu

a blazing mountain: my reasons for ignoring his call are my own—as i see it #tanka #monotanka

nothing said nothing heard except my breathing—tonight walkin' empty streets in hot darkness #tanka #monotanka

awakened abruptly, some unresolved guilt #senryu

wanting to visit Hiroshima remnants of shame for something #senryu

on the porch smoking a joint alone with these thoughts #senryu

feeling abandoned my hands can't hold these slipper years #senryu

roadside jizo and stone virgin mary—weary after work #senryu

stepping outside—how to avoid these damn mosquitos #senryu

with his death comes the smell of August—another drought #senryu

migrants—constant battling for space on stolen land #senryu

thumbing through a book, bedtime calls me softly #senryu

finally home— tempted by the whiteness of sugar #senryu

bertha neaman's body found in the clearing of a forest— human's are really dark #tanka

old pine tree in the backyard he's been dead fifteen years his old red pickup --- off old Spanish Wells RD finding an aged shack where we used to play --- in the greenery remembering the games we played as carefree children --- nursing her child for her leaving the doors unlocked #tanka

often i like to mix them up. i'll often wear mixed 'women's' and 'men's' fragrances. just purchases 'Sand and Sable,' 'White Diamonds,' and 'Bluegrass.' I want to get 'Tabu,' 'Exclamation,' 'Red Door' by Liz Arden; and a few more early 1980s scents that smell yummy.
