digging deep
digging deep,
looking for the words
but empty handed-
left only with a mask,
the one that wears a smile

how can it be
how can it be
spring in australia
if it's fall here?
she spins the globe
held upside down

the world shrinks

inch by inch, day by day
as I read
poetry written by souls
that cover the globe

as she walks by-

for this night
for this night
I sit alone with the stars
and the last firefly
that tries but fails
to lighten my mood

more than usual
more than usual,
the endness of autumn
felt today-
the sun, busy elsewhere,
leaves us early

ears not needed
ears not needed
as I read your letters
late this night,
pulled into memories
covered with dust

the love they show
the love they show,
a young couple in the park,
reminds me of spring-
our love, however,
is comfortably autumn

reaching up
reaching up
at the dark, heavy clouds
as they roll by,
desperately needing
to touch reality

digging to find
digging to find
the time-capsule buried
in my mind
that holds the picture
of you from the day we met

at sunset
at sunset
I hear the bells
at the church
finding myself alone
at your funeral.... again

mellows with september's

their winter slumber

so many words

I've heard in my mind,
promising
to write them down later-
if only....if only

slowly swirls over us
with only rain-
the strength of my voice
has weakened over years

what was my life like
what was my life like
before I wrote tanka?
we walk hand in hand
over the concrete walkway
that covers my past
