Big Senryu Cluster 1

 a quiet willow i refuse him i refuse any man 

be it tied, be it united...i am unfaithful and proud

daybreak comes i dress slowly in a balmy wind

in blurred night high on caffeine and a man's attention 

deutzia flowers—i seek absolution of my sins 

in a sudden shower opening my current man's umbrella

unable to compose a piece on anything grabbing more coffee

in darkness rats have their way this home this unrest

no one gives me evening sun the ferry moves into shadow

Cupid should avoid me polishing grandma's old pewter

deeper into evening darkness i reassess my stance on life

a summer Fuji furiously blending rogue on her face 

sewing fingers quite fat and somewhat unsteady 

wearing wildly hairy shawl a woman lives only with cats 

in thin rain rushing home do nightmares come in politeness

erotic explorations his strong fingers peel back my folds 

blooming akebia under my hands a woman's myriad thoughts

beautiful days turn into beautiful nights enjoying a cigarette

my heart's light slightly fragile i ask questions of no one 

man approaching his last moments what thoughts what feelings 

derangement: i touch things i shouldn't blooming dahlia 

morning primroses wood stacked up by a married man 

seated in silence unable to see my full self—moon's angst 

alone with the dead childish wishing for a cold cold winter 

doll's mechanisms finally completed i wish for immortality

deeply suspicious man's gaze i piddle with my chopsticks 

thinking of my last child somewhere an island trembles 

shopping the Greek market i want Turkish Delight and coffee

seething ocean near the villa an existence that isn't really mine

blinded by narcissism a lawyer arrested an jailed quickly

at the bottom of a moat sunken castle and a dead woman 

with January's coming no longer belonging to this country
