monotanka (visiting a bathhouse)

- May 07, 2024

not visiting a bathhouse, reading zuihitsu on my day off...another expresso tastes slightly off

monotanka (disillusionment)

- May 07, 2024

out of those brackish waters, a city saggin' under the weight of disillusionment

the last poem was a ghazal, a 'bastard' ghazal in the tradition of Adrienne Rich. According to Adrienne Rich, her ghazals utilize only 5 couplets; with each couplet being an autonomous whole; independent of the other one's.
