tanshi/tanka set

by midnight 

my night-owl self on the couch 

eating a sweet banana 

-

midnight movie watching

i despise the way 

he eats popcorn 

-

cleaning house 

finding and old Birthday card 

from the dead one, my father 

-

after midnight 

unsure of a great many things 

there´s dust on the chandelier

-

a dissatisfaction like rain 

falling from the afterlife where mother lives

dead leaves in the courtyard
