A Fistful of Senryu
A fading intent
Lost amid echoed voices
A blurring of lines
A meaningless word
Adrift on a feeling
Softness or sting
Her eyes lied
As she spoke her “truth”
A lover’s denial
A barb blindly tossed
An unnoticed flinch
An unshed tear
Malnourished
When the wise lack wisdom
Un-nurtured youth
