Alexis Y. Poet Monoku

Yesterday's Residue-Ku Duet

as dawn draws nigh~yesterday's residue,
linger on the fingertips
in twilight hour~ one graspes, for something
that can't be held, father time

Andrea Dietrich January 2, 2020 at 9:01 PM so true, Alexis. By the way, he wanted each poem on one line per poem. Though he said he would accept them this way too. I especially liked the very last line. Picturing Father time as a wretch that won't let the good times stay with me!!!
