catastrophic... dying camellias and a divorce #senryu

some man's waxed moustache... in this Dali-esque life simply existing #senryu

laughing to myself - walking by parked cars in the dark #senryu

something whimsical about bitter melons - leaving a poem unfinished #senryu

rich yellow of rape blossoms— a daughter kills her father #senryu

quite depressed against the smell of rabbit- ear irises #senryu

Untitled Early Summer Kamenosuke Ogata A ball rolled into the evening garden As I watch, quietly, an azalea crouches in the shape of a woman 初夏無題 尾形亀之助 夕方の庭へ鞠がころげた 見てゐると ひつそり　女に化けた躑躅がしやがんでゐる #poem #translation

flush of a commode his wife ain't paying the bills #senryu

reading Lady Chatterly, my nails painted a chrome color #senryu

cold: draping these shoulders in a thick towel #senryu

Amazon packages on the stoop, adultery in the house next door #senryu

old pond—"stop it right there! im not interested" #senryu

what is truth: taking a 30 min walk down the road #senryu

room rearranged an abruptly ended phone call tonight #senryu

tonight you've become all fingers all touch #senryu

unopened mail—he's a man from South Dakota simplicity #senryu

with the coming of Summer, your vulva slightly touched #senryu

drèt-lala, m'apé ganyin kafé! Ça çé aproshan minnwi! kakakaka ___ right now, im having coffee! it's nearly midnight! lolol

A trio that meant business?

estate of Life—these thin fingers hide silent things #senryu

fragile man aging, that damn potted plant in the corner #senryu

these days somewhat bored... the gilded train passes through an empty city #tanka

ilicit phone conversation— re-reading "Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen" #tanka

candy corn on sale needing a joint to calm down #senryu

ignoring his phone call ... larkspur in the dark #senryu

rise and fall of 'red pill bros' ordering myself glazed donuts #senryu

redness of spider lilies, sometimes i feel defective #senryu

seething ocean: enjoying a bit of tepid tea in silence #senryu

forgetting...the laughter of newly abused man #senryu

ripening apples—at the height of laughter discussing masturbation #senryu

sweetness of a single mom, requiem for a dead state #senryu

even Virgin Mary craving love, faces southeast #senryu

'is time moving quickly?' the brilliance of a new tattoo #senryu

in the heart of dandelions my rebellion against social norms (and my parents) #senryu

'you need roughage...' side-eying her in silence #senryu

whimsical: crashin' a random wedding for a quick bite of wedding cake #tanka

at a vacation villa, throwing a wanga against your peace #senryu - a charm, fetish, or spell within Louisiana Creole culture and other Afro-Creole and Caribbean cultures.

wishing for the return of winter, burning burning marsh #senryu

catastrophes one after the other, hotel's tepid coffee #senryu

angle of a descending plane: my interest in that married man #senryu

filing away papers won't someone, SOMEBODY send me wintersweets #tanka

trash day—having a glass of cheap wine for breakfast #senryu

beyond a lowhanging sunset in the burning red a truck disappearing #tanka

men are gravel... shopping for groceries i want one that is soft #tanka

in spring mud, my dignity for just a moment #senryu

i hate that sometimes i am weak... another load of clothes drying #tanka

unfettered access— watching his back muscles while he shampoos' the carpet #tanka

pancakes for dinner, evening moves adagio #senryu *slowly - a musical tempo marker

nothing pithy to say... pungent smell of exhaust fumes from his Tesla #tanka
