Sundown Tanka
SUNDOWN TANKA
two ducks on the pond
and one on the stony path
right around sundown
i must wonder where they sleep
then, looking homeward, must yawn
such a shallow fence
along the wintery trail
just logs and runners
nor for keeping in nor out
but skirts the deep, dark forest
where the stream narrows
someone has laid down a log
questionable –
which side to use for camping?
balance in the forest gloom?
