A Room of My Own: Shard of Sunlight Tanka

just to be alive ...
one long shard of sunlight 
through a gap 
in the bedroom curtains
touches my tear-streaked face


FYI: L1 alludes to the following:

...
it is a serious thing

just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in the broken world.
I beg of you...

Mary Oliver, "Invitation," Red Bird, 2009

meteor shower ...
my four-year-old son loses 
count of wishes



Added:

waterfront stroll ...
rising over the pole lights
a flower moon



Added:

alongside a sunbeam
jogging to the edge 
of my daydream


Hindi Translation

धूप की लकीर पर 
दौड़ती हूँ मैं
अपने ख़्वाब की हद तक

नेवर एन्डिंग स्टोरी, मई 28 2025 


Added:

the splinter moon
at our bedroom window 
her knife-sharp words
