Inklings

Some offerings in a minor key—


months passing—
yellow acacia faded,
and this playbill too


after the storm,
old trees huddled around
a broken branch of pine


boats washed ashore,
and a “tide of bodies,”
after the tsunami


a bit of orange peel,
color and fragrance
all but disappeared


drowned villages,
bells tolling on and on
unheard


—Christie
