I think,
therefore I am
free to be
a co-owner
of my mother tongue,
the fighter
for my opinions,
the judge
of my conscience,
the planner
of my destiny,
and yet locked up
in the iron cage
of the zeitgeist,
I think.

A Room of My Own: Night of Silent Dreams Tanka
-
the fire crackling
as smoke snakes up ...
one family
three campfires and two dogs
on a night of silent dreams
*Added:*
just one more
bear hug to remember...
