A Room of My Own: All the Feelings Tanka

I was told
to hide all the feelings
once grown --
carrying this silver casket
I shed tears for her, and me


FYI: This could be read as a sequel to my tanka below:

with each sob
his body convulses …
in the hospital
for the first time
I embrace a man

Ribbons, 7:4, Winter 2011


Added:

my brain humming 
with scraps of Sappho  
while Eros stirs ...
"I'll be a poet," I confess
to my river reflection


Added: This Brave New World, CXXVIII

another lineup
round the block near a foodbank
wall-mounted TV
blasting "sunlight on demand"
"orbiting data centers"



Reflect Orbital's giant mirror to create “sunlight on demand” was just approved by the United States Federal Communications Commission, or FCC,

In February, SpaceX filed with the FCC for one million more satellites, for “AI data centers.”


Added:

dust motes  
in slanted moonlight—  
I settle  
into what remains
after bankruptcy
