A World of Our Own Tanka

snowflakes drift
between us, around us
in a world of our own ...
she replies, I'll make my way
when I want, where I can



Added:

in dim streetlight
a sex worker's high heels
squeak in the alley ...
sleepless, I open the window
to let out loneliness


Added:

slant of moonlight
her wet lips on my lips
then her hand ...
