her last question
'how can you make a life
out of mere words'
reverberates in the dark…
starlight once in her eyes

Under the Sun: A Haibun

New Year's drink
our yellow streams cross
each other's

'Son, now you're a man, ' Father says coldly. Something strange…something I can't articulate in his eyes. A gaze I will carry with me always.

the moon floats
from one glass
to another…
