I turn my back
on her departing words --
a whirl of leaves
across the border fence
between reality and dream

A Room of My Own: All the Feelings Tanka
-
I was told
to hide all the feelings
once grown --
carrying this silver casket
I shed tears for her, and me
FYI: This could be read as a sequel to my tanka ...
