TANKA..............
Karina Klesko, US 

 

through an open window
one shadow
sharing with me this night, alone
the man on the street bench
haloed in moonlight 
 

Isn't it strange
that you are in my thoughts
and I worry so...
Will you be there tomorrow
emptiness? 
 

thunder & lightning

you come to my door
and tease me with your power
so strong are the feelings
as you leave me—
counting 
...the distance 
...between us
 

baptized 

all night rain 
taste the sweet water 
feel the spray of wind 
my dream beating 
of my heart
