Bamboo Veil 7

Curl of light
Dawn sparks;
Birdsong

~~~~~~~~~


Mall crowd
Feisty spree;
Window shopping

~~~~~~~~~


Food court
Hungry agendas;
Appetites dash

~~~~~~~~~


Morning papers
Bad news again;
Apocalyptic surge

~~~~~~~~~


Another typhoon
Wet dreams intrude;
Flooding moments

~~~~~~~~~


Broken hearts
Sadness glimpses;
Mail order tonics

~~~~~~~~~


If you must know
Time does not heal;
Grace inspires

~~~~~~~~~


Neighbour's kids
Noisy birdsong glee;
Sing-song savvy

~~~~~~~~~


Ancient evenings
Here at the gate;
Loneliness lingers

~~~~~~~~~


Dementia declares
Nondescript moves;
Forgetful forget-me-nots

~~~~~~~~~


Laughter echoes
Happy voices tint;
Foreign contradiction

~~~~~~~~~


Savvy somnolence
Easy escapades;
Sleepy limbo

~~~~~~~~~


She says
He sways;
Touch tentative

~~~~~~~~~


Words fail
Thoughts strangled;
Empty excursion

~~~~~~~~~
