Ramesh Anand Reads



Overspill: A Tanka Sequence

Overspill: A Tanka Sequence


with my child
on my shoulder, i walk
in the long rain
carrying the heaviness
of shattered dreams

                     *

how long
can a robin hold its song
in autumn
my late father's words
stirring my soul

                     *

how much rain
can a little cloud hold
the overspill
of resentment
her only identity

Picture
