A tanka written on how friendships can spring up almost anywhere if you give them the chance.

To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
Such sweet aroma Breathe in the color deeply Exhale precious wafts Crisp Citric spiral peelings, Fill my compost disposal
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
To puddle one’s words Few are willing to admit Myself least of all To fall and land upon earth Closer to Earth than before?
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink
A natural fog Too tired to remember Dowsing memories Broken alarm clock weeping Woe be to his faint tick, tock
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
The words are muffled and shifting… The pounding won’t stop, the fraye… I hold onto a thread, a little blu… The tension is mine; it is a pain… Frenzied energy drains from my fin…
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
