How Loud This Voice Inside: tanka Sequence
reading
with the lamp on,
I see a crater
where our bed last lay…
we watch the distance burn
you are the last ring
of smoke
to be held tight…
we’re lucky
we’re not art
sunken moon,
my mind upside down
in the sky…
moonlight cannot polish stone,
or pester our transparencies
how silent the trees
how loud the shots of hunters
how broken
the geese wings…how hidden
the pocket knife tearing my desire
