Beautiful tanka, Peg, very moving.
using a cane
for the first time
my father doesn't look up
looking like
any old man
so sad…
Sad , but so well shown and done, Peg. Thank you!
exquisitely poignant
dad's refusal
to use the cane
old tiger maple
Very sad!
——
If i could break
all seals
all locks
Or
If i could live
open life from the start
Oh, sad!
