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
~~~~~~~~~
