English Tanka
walking the corridors
of the old asylum
now apartments for those
looking for the quiet life
the cemetery - a rose garden
![dash](dashsm.gif)
the guided tour
impossible saints - weeping statues
the light never fails
the nun at the gift shop
offers me a concession
![dash](dashsm.gif)
born broken
born to die
deflated
i youtube elephants
listening to a piano
![dash](dashsm.gif)
backslider
dead to born again
believers
walking the opposite way
down the same street
![dash](dashsm.gif)
attempts at self-love
not gone unnoticed
by god or the wife
both light sleepers
apparently
![dash](dashsm.gif)
i hang on
to yesterday
like there's no tomorrow
living i figure
a young man's game
