Autumn afternoon
we keep our distance
in dappled light
talking about the life
we haven’t shared

Sad…
The distance
will always be filled
with a shared unshared life

autumn leaves fall

This is such a lovely tanka, I've reread and shared it. Thank you for writing it.
In dappled light, caring vanishes as 'tis whirled away. Well seen. _m
cooler winds
whirl to spin our fallen leaves
centrifugal care
Shades of a love that never happened.
Very nice.
