Black Hole: Tanka
BLACK HOLE
Don’t give me a hug
Let me give you one instead
Though on second thoughts …
I see it’s all about fear
And we are all one big whole
Unicycling
UNICYCLING
The Universe seems
In one way hard to endure
While in another
It seems we creators make
It up as we go along
Bête Noire
BÊTE NOIRE
…………………………………………………………………………This one’s for dear Margaret W
An unpleasantness
Unwarranted to my mind
Drains another glass
And chitchats with abandon
While beneath the masque … Her pain
Tao Circus Tanka
TAO CIRCUS TANKA
Dropping space and time
Releasing sufficiently
We accept the All
These battles of Black v White
But an ongoing sideshow
Twain
TWAIN
There is a thing, Love
Which words may only hint at
There is a word, love
Used to describe desire
And never the twain shall meet
Oh To Be As Water
…..
…..
OH TO BE AS WATER
Look see the wave crash
Listen to the mighty roar
Watch the droplets fly
Smashed to smithereens and yet
The ocean repairs itself

I Heart all Comments
Except the other kind … which
I simply Delete
One day I’ll stop doing this
Then I shall have made progress
Now, Now, Alice
NOW, NOW, ALICE
Time’s a paradox
Absolutely relative
What future? What past?
Tick Tock Tock Tick … Pause
And fall down the rabbit hole
Dodgson’s wonderland
Awaiting eternally
That which is already here
First a senryu
In short order, a tanka
And then a second
Along with fifty-nine more
Leaving the Cheshire Cat’s smile

SARAH’S GODFATHER
Shivered my timbers
Being addressed as uncle
We are family
Yes, but by Spirit not blood
Where we came from we are one
