in the space between falling rain and loneliness . . . the song that once was ours
—Paresh Tiwari
Issue 18.1 | 16 May 2018
A beautiful tanka with poetic essence (honi). The visual description (miru tei) unfolds the layers of loneliness (yugen tei).
sublime smiles the painting portrays I adjust to live rewinding the coil of time in the shadows of my loneliness

**** **** **** a solitary kite in the twilight sky dusk deepens unfolding the heaviness of her long loneliness

a solitary kite
in the twilight sky
dusk deepens
unfolding the heaviness
of her long loneliness
