Dónall Dempsey - ' ' ' ' ' WELL, GEE...THANKS! (Tankas for Onelia in lieu of postcards)

WELL...GEE...THANKS!

The moment wraps up
the Universe in new dawn
tied up with twilight.
“How much will that be? ” I ask.
“Oh this one’s on the house, Sir! ”


*******


BALANCING ON THE REDNESS


Blooms blossom...bell booms
sight & sound becoming one
in my open mind
butterfly balancing on
the redness of a flower.

*******


NO HAIKU TANKA


Shadow & sunlight
chase each other over page
write their own haiku.
Who needs words when they can do
it wordless – by themselves.

*******
LOST MOON

Red leaves on white moon
I gather both in my hands
lost in reflection.
Moon drips now between fingers
leaves on my palms – stigmata.


********

YEAH YEAH...I SEE!

Galaxy of stars
as if an enormous hand
points to tiny bird
singing on top of my house
as if I hadn’t noticed.


Dearest Onelia!

Not got 'round to postcards yet! So these tankas will just have to do in lieu!

love Dónall Dónall
