1.

rehashing
an old rumor...
ants
take refuge
in the sugar bag


2.

last
of the summer crickets-
chuckling
at the love names
we trade in bed


3.

leaving
my wheat crusts
for the birds-
the best I can do
till payday


4.

not black enough
to fit in...
a stray dog
barking
into midnight


5.

as if waiting
for me
to notice her-
day moon


6.

he too
must be wifeless
tonight-
old tomcat
on the front step


7.

doctor's prognosis
by phone
why now...
nodding to a song
I never liked?
This will be a seven day series of Tanka style poetry. :heart:
