Wild mushroom tanka and haiku


1/
wild mushrooms
in our deserted garden
grow in silence
we know how this coldness
lingers like cataract*

2/
the rage
i refuse to let loose
monsoon

3/
morning mist
floating above the lake
unfinished poetry
hoping you find it carved
on my headstone

4/
are you too, moon
stargazing?

5/
peeking
thru vertical blinds
morning sunbeam
is it love concealed
behind your eyelids?
