Borrowing Sleep

Tan Renga Borrowing Sleep

borrowing sleep

from the scarecrow’s sleeves

midnight frost (Basho)

stare peering into my soul

hungry eyes, starved for kindness

1/30/15

Broken

Broken wings
Desolate stare
Cringing a reflex of being hit
Now a part of his sinew
Learned behavior he will be
sure to pass on

10/11/14

Neglect-Resusicitated

Pale and dusky floppy head swaying

Way too tiny to have ribs on display

The universe intervened

Since you have yet to play

Kismet has spoken

It shall be this way
