“Five Lots of Decay” Tanka 101

such a sad house here

prostitutes and drugs often

obscure the madness

unlovely drunk dies before

though the strawberry patch first

“Which Witch”

My mother was a witch, she’d say,

catching me at breakfast play

with her behind eyes.

Which witch? would I reply:

red shoes or none,

Dorothy’s Done

and run

with the sun.

It rained the night she died.

’twas well earth cried.
