Tanka

     

spoor tracks
imprint
the virgin snow
footsteps of yesteryear
echo my mind

     

the diary
fell,
pages scatter the floor—
just out of reach
yesterday’s dreams

     

Crystalline

     

#1

Chill breath of fall seared scarlet red;
tears well within for comrades, long dead.

     

Cinqku

     

#3

a light
frost whitens
the frozen verge—
inert below, summer
awaits

     

#6

dank fog
envelops
a bonfire night—
the party becomes a
damp squib
