Russell Sivey Poet Tanka

Tearful Wound

Soft specks of red blood
Fall from my swift dying heart
Stressful feel explored
I walk through space interweaved
Till my eyes see no more views
I falter some more
No more fresh steps I will take
With this wound pounding
Tearing my life so apart
I fall, tears no longer roll

Russell Sivey
