Renku: Pizzicato
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
first blackthorn
blossom
the tightness of the starling flock
loosens
|
|
|
|
risen mist
has left the greenness
|
|
|
|
under the canal
bridge
just the throb
of a passing barge
|
|
|
|
string quartet pizzicato
at the open window
|
|
|
|
rummaging
through the toolbox -
a waft of wood oil
|
|
|
|
at the flea market
she finds that special scarf
|
|
|
|
I suppose
you’re an old flame -
what an odd thought
|
|
|
|
the Kama Sutra
carved in stone
|
|
|
|
scratching the city
stark moon
and frost
|
|
|
|
almost perfect
hotpot gets peppered
|
|
|
|
last-gasp equaliser
the chanting
switches ends
|
|
|
|
the wind blows out
the pumpkin’s eyes
|
|
|

all verses collegiate
