Unintended
A Renga:
Unintended
The full moon hovers
Just above the horizon
In the freezing air
Howling for a few minutes
A few dogs in the distance
With great insistence
They argue with each other
About politics
"I don't mean to contradict,
Then again, maybe I do."
Perhaps they are through,
Perhaps she will try again,
A refreshing wind
The apple tree, once again,
Tosses blossoms in the air
At the County Fair
Couples prance in the line dance
To a steady beat
In the ealry evening heat
Sipping tea and lemonade
He is still afraid
They won't be interested,
He maintains silence
Noting the correspondence,
Patterns of the earth and sky
As oak leaves defy
The deepening autumn cool
She closes a door
This hasn't happened before
A road that's unknown beckons
