Tanka: Uprooted Mind →
Rainy dusk arrives,
An evening of tremors come
to a brain not bound
by earthly structures.
Visited by dreamless lights,
and uprooted thoughts.

Two Tankas of dust →
Time lost to the sun,
the world seems warprd by ancent
glass and small quivers.
Memories rush to fill
life’s desertion to the sand.
Life in the dark shines,
but a life in hot light thirsts,
Longing…

Tankas: Three Tankas of a Deserts Rage . . .... →
Rage filled pale gray eyes
and his hate brought destruction,
To the desert towns,
Each step on the trail grows sage,

waists and nightmare…
Tanka: Gray Eyes →
Before pale gray eyes,
Stands the heart of the desert,
dust blown and barren,
but holding the hidden life,
in the shade of a small stone.

with the heat of terror,

Time is short,
in the sunlit sky,

Delighting the devils crew.
But an easy death?
Denied that gift,

lonely in a dream

Time is short,
