Necessity knows, no law, unfettered it crosses, each stream, eats each meal, as if it were the last. #haiku #tanka Tweet

Sometimes the skies tell lies, whisper it is time, to fight, or to cry, tell me: is it sunset or sunrise? #tanka #micropoetry Tweet

Nothing magical, nothing memorable, caged, stunted souls, toil the day’s fate, dried tears the only remnant, nearly forgotten. #haiku #tanka Tweet

Morning gloom, haunted – singular focus, surrounded – on all sides, chaotic din – out of reach, stoic winter – faint sunrise each day #tanka Tweet

Unknown, unbidden, longing awaits its season, flowering desire, ancient rhythms bound, belonging deep in the bone. #tanka #micropoetry Tweet

Moonlight, moon shadow, twins in light and darkness, concealing and revealing your truth, ever changing essence. #tanka Tweet

The curve from brow to cheek, from ear to lips, chin to throat – paths followed to a place from which the heart cannot fully return #tanka Tweet

Certain colors are found in nature rarely, certain sounds equally, the brushed whisperings and amber hue of your thighs, nowhere else #tanka Tweet

Shards from dancing stars, fed on rice milk and jungle fruit, in time these creatures became the thick, black hair of Mong women. #tanka Tweet

Heart cries, protracted yearning, the hungry soul continually wounded by this distance, an arms’ length of infinity. #tanka Tweet
