Three Tanka just published in the last issue of Breath & Shadow
where
is your native land?
dipped in mud,
my head covered
with the thin blanket of poverty
refugees
on their last legs--
playground stones
in the cupped hand
of a lifeless child
agoraphobia...
who can blame me for
declining to defy
such whiteness with the
snowshoe cruelty of tracks
