“Ignored Him-A-Cane Detritus” Tanka 309

Soft, silent statues

seen through mucked glass and worse eyes

‘mache’ or bad light?

Hiding behind the ‘dumpstuff’

a week past due for pickup.

“By Its Trash You Will Know It” Tanka 137

Across the dark street

sits a full blue bag of trash\

left there by more trash.

Why am I unsurprised?

The yard’s paved with dead paper!
