tangled up in tryst

Fandango’s One Word Challenge’s selection today is tryst. Today’s offering is a series of senryu .

as he closed the door

to the room, he broke one heart

and burst another

dark end of the street

where lust and betrayal rise

unholy phoenix

“working late tonight”

cliched lie for timeless tale

staled lust leavened

bodies never touched

but stolen glances conjured

untold torrid trysts

mommy said daddy

is leaving because he had tryst

is that like toast?
