mother stands alone
before our old house
in the gathering dusk
I look back at her
in a winter dream
German Translation
Mutter steht allein
vor unserem alten Haus
in zunehmender Dunkelheit
sehe ich mich nach ihr um
in einem Wintertraum
Chrysanthemum, October 2017
Poetic Musings: Cosmetics Tanka by Margaret Chula
-
those half-used tubes
of her cosmetics
why did I keep them?
rubbing in face cream
I feel my mother’s bones
