Selected Tanka:

 

in my closet

clothes for all occasions

yet the years

it took to be comfortable

in my own skin

this beach glass

scoured a cloudy blue

so like your eyes

fading and emptying

to a relentless tide

in this tin box

of unmatched buttons

one baby tooth—

her lifelong attachment

for things detached

 a light rain

upon leaf mulch—

an old grief

mingles with the scent

of late autumn
