Tanka - Prairie Dogs III

Dogs of the prairie

Owing allegiance to none

We are vagabonds

No homes but the dirt and sky

We own nothing but our hearts

Tanka - Prairie Dogs II

We do two-mutt strut

Across prairie dog prairie

Too lazy to hunt

We calculate losing odds

Chasing grasshoppers instead

Tanka

Spinning Carousel

Space burning Time like wildfires

Infinite breakdowns

Building tomorrows future

As History end today

Tanka

Heart beating War Drum

Like my ancestors before

Tonight I am Red

Called to the fields of Battle

I answer the call of Blood

Tanka - Prairie Dogs

The black dog and I

Wander across the prairie

We two are the same

Both of questionable blood

Finding fortune where we can

It’s funny, sometimes, where you find your muse.  While back on the reservation last summer, I made the acquaintance of a stray dog.  She was often my companion during the week, just looking for a friendly hand and perhaps a few scraps from the table.  I wish I could have taken her home, but I guess she already was.

Tanka

Drum beat heart

Stirring blood of Red

We make War

On past, present, future

Taking back our souls

Tanka - Another for Jules Verne

The wreck settles deep

As iron beast slips away

Leaving only ghosts

A graveyard on ocean floor

A testament to madness

Tanka/Haiku Set - Remembering George and Audrey

Let’s throw mad parties

Steal masks from the five and dime

Just because we can

Climb up, down the fire escape

Love each other in the end

 

Moonlight drifts through black

Like a river among stones

The past, washed away

 

You can be Audrey

I’ll be George, we’ll play the parts

Like an old movie

Doing things we’ve never done

End it kissing in the rain

Tanka - of the Living Dead

Dead men keep walking

Shuffling along each step

With stiff arms outstretched

Never reaching what they want

Nothing is within their grasp

Tanka - dr(ink)

Pouring out my Pain

Like deep red bottle of wine

One glass at a time

I drink my way through sorrows

But the well never runs dry
