Kim Rodrigues Poet Tanka

Holidaymakers

“A cousin is a little bit of childhood that cannot be lost”
                                                       Marion C. Garretty

holidaymakers

my stone and icy
         fingers, my throat coated with
                 honey and hot tea
     i’m wrapped in purple sweatshirt
behind warm and busy day

                                            11/4/2019
