Tanka Tuesday — Tanka Puente — This and That Are One

cosmic fractal

This and That Are One


Merging libidos
Fusion-powered ecstasy
Illuminates us
Pulsing new in old darkness
Forming new clay from old dust

~Warning: over-fired vessels flare~

Sun’s trajectory
Burns toward imminent dusk
Here, under a starless sky
Cold blows over shattered bits
Dissolved in pools of hot tears

puente form poem (with tanka)
