huge splats, leaves tremble

Childhood Joy – A Cherita
brooding clouds
finally spill their brew
of large, plopping raindrops.
on her daily walk, pace unchanged –
rediscovering her childhood joy
of walking in the rain

Unswayed – A Tanka
behind those brown eyes
a sense of knowing – unswayed
by life’s indignities
she holds fast, mind still her own –
matter of independence

New Birth – Tanka Tuesday
norms devoured, I’m
riveted by the mayhem –
tales taller than most
delivered with conviction,
bringing darkness a new birth

Standing Up
It was mid morning on a weekday.
I was working in my garden.
Doing battle, was more like it.
This unruly patch is the only green in this row of yards.
The grape is tangled with the honeysuckle.
Lina’s broom is on a surge for the sun while stiffling the lavendar.
When far away an interrupted cry.
It was the voice of a woman. I could hear the blows landing, and the rebuke with each blow. This, even after she had stopped crying out. A man’s voice, full of rage, blaming her for it all. She refused to give him the satisfaction of crying anymore.
He kept hitting her.
I couldn’t figure out which house this was coming from.
I felt helpless, pissed off and horrified all at once
Then there was a gurgly scream from him
Followed by silence.
