From February 1, 2010 to October 25, 2010, I wrote a tanka a day. I fell short of writing 365 tanka due to vision problems which have since been corrected. I will continue to post tanka to my blog but not as frequently as I did in 2010.

no matter how much it hurt
she felt disconnected
from the lost clumps of hair
the same way she tried to disconnect
from being raped again

Today is the 17th anniversary of my mom's death. Today Nate graduates from college.
the flowered cat
in its new home
her eyes catch
the same sunlight
you had while you were painting
We miss you.

somewhere in
the worn-out elbows
of a mother's jacket
all the hours she spent
lifting up others

it starts with
the cicada
a summer's morning
the pulse of feverish clicks
before slowing down

yellow trash bags
along a stretch
of adopted highway
the sharpness of a crow's beak
ripping through the plastic
