only the sound
of crunching cereal ...
my old dog
sits beside me
on Christmas morning
jingle bell decals
on the restaurant window
I listen
to my timid voice,
a table for one

A Room of My Own: Sultry Smell Tanka
-
the sultry smell
of grilled salmon and shrimp
our shoulders
close, closer to each other
and our wandering hearts, too
