It’s cool and raining
but I am not complaining
The heat’s been draining

Tanka: Between the Lines
Enough is enough
I have a mind of my own
How it could have been
We may never know the truth
hidden between bloody lines

Tanka: Portal
They come and they go
Revolving door politics
It’s merely a joke
The faces and names may change
though the policies remain

Tanka: Special
The child was special
The teenager even more
What have I become?
Some reach their apogee late
This is my blaze of glory

Tanka: The One
Let us wipe our eyes
because the end is not yet
Return to the one
who has called us all back home
to this unexpected truth
