maple branches etch
the inky blue sky
stars seek
one another to bear witness
I set fire
to my murderer, pondering
teardrops on the cheek of time
Spring issue of Rust+Moth
Biting NOT Barking: Shelter Tanka by Marion Alice Poirier
-
*English Original*
under the shelter
of a weeping willow tree
she sleeps at last
on damp earth and newspapers --
a haven, for one night
