Yellowing Memory, I:
Father's long stare
and penetrating silence
before he walks away ...
under piles of my textbooks
a new copy of Playboy
FYI: Yellowing Memory is my new writing project, and its first entry is stirred by and written in response to Playboy Enterprises's Jan. 23 announcement: "The reimagined PLAYBOY magazine will arrive on Barnes & Noble newsstands nationwide on February 10, 2025. "
The new issue features: Cover Model Lori Harvey, Playboy interview with comedian and actress Nikki Glaser, and the Playmate of the Year.
And this tanka could be read as a sequel to my tanka below:
at high noon I see
a woman pulling down
her windblown white dress ...
Marilyn Monroe's smile
held my young self each night
