Interlude

Dark night
Haze shades grey sky;
Humid weather groans

~~~~~~~~~


Lovers waltz
Wedding banquet glimpses;
Joy unfurls passion

~~~~~~~~~


Old cobbler squats
Busy with mending
Worn-out footwear soles

~~~~~~~~~


Odd couple argue
Over supermarket things;
Appetites collide

~~~~~~~~~


Newspaper vendor
Old lady preaches news;
Gloomy Monday

~~~~~~~~~


Wet market ambience
Hazardous slippery floors;
Unsightly misadventure

~~~~~~~~~


Old friends meet
Rough bump and detour;
Nothing to transact

~~~~~~~~~


Salesman selling
Nobody's buying;
U-turn runaway

~~~~~~~~~


Smoke fragrance
Disturbing haze flings;
Coughing episodes

~~~~~~~~~


Bamboo trees
Marking the years;
Resilient grooves

~~~~~~~~~


Words on rice paper
Tell of old dreams;
Unfinished fragments

~~~~~~~~~


Old sepia memory
Old times forgotten;
Rainy day debris 

~~~~~~~~~


Old ghostly figures
Lingering presence;
Blessings abide

~~~~~~~~~


Mosaic motifs
Classic designs haunt;
Baby boomer keepsake

~~~~~~~~~


Howling wind
Sings eerie songs;
Haunting melody

~~~~~~~~~


Message in a passage
Wet dreams sum;
Memory reflects

~~~~~~~~~


Ecstasy greets joy
Calm the new charm;
Placid tranquility

~~~~~~~~~
