haiku

ahogados en el mar alambradas en la hierba Siria 

time tanka

Image
time is like  the ripe fruit  that falls... formally smooth skin appears hollow and parched

tanka

el verano es  como la fruta madura  que cae...  la piel antaño tersa  se siente abandonada 

haiku

the closing door  of a cremation niche...  end of summer ,

haiku

fin del verano... El frote de la aldaba  serrando el nicho

three haiku in Spanish

leve llovizna se suspende el desfile de las flores luna creciente Puerto Vallarta esta de fiesta luna llena la dalias se visten de rojo

nuestro beso

nuestro beso es manantial de vida copa llena

haiku

luna azul el arrullo del búho

somonka en espanol. (dos tanka de amor o desamor)

te pienso desde el desierto más húmedo la ola más silenciosa que agita este agosto agoto así este día de nubes dejando atrás mi piel … se que no me esperas 

belonging tanka

belonging is like a circle without  boundaries...  alone yet tied together

the heat tanka

the heat makes my brain blank out my sister is inching her way into my heart hope to see you soon Priscila

tanka

lloré como un bebe solté leguas de congoja volando a solas al Sur

Willie Nelson - Always On My Mind

a found tanka from a Willie Nelson song

love  is like a dying ember only  memories remain blue eyes crying in the rain

I cried tanka

I cried like a little boy unmoor leagues of heartache... flying solo into Africa

mirrors tanka

mirrors  shadows and dreams-- what will we do when we get really old, walk down the same road?

chimeras tanka

chimeras lose their bridges-- a trickle of light seduced me in the jungle

loss of memory tanka

loss of memory  unending afternoons  of solitaire  no house to call  my own

I played tanka

I played that old upright piano from fear to fear when love was a young man caressing my face at daybreak

last night tanka

last night  our bodies were as busy as a silk kimono meteors fell  into the pond full of koi
