Death Tanka for an Ex
Lover! Enemy
brain cancer ate. My demon
deflates. I made you
the perfect shape of anger.
I must balance my conscience.

I had been posting death tankas here (Harley and Zeke) and had one to put to rest under your beautiful photo.

And are they these cobra lilies, or is the cocktail party elsewhere?
The very same.

It’s a Japanese form of 31 syllables; the form can act to pare away the extraneous.
I posted death tankas for Harley and Zeke, and now for someone I knew. The lilies seemed like a good place to put her death tanka under. I didn’t think Chris would mind.
yrs,
B. Dagger

b. dagger lee— excellent tanka, and i am so sorry for its inspiration. i don’t think you are a huggy person, but hope you will accept a virtual one.

the news articles do not at all capture that dr. kawai was a careful and caring doctor, one who cared for me and my kids at times over the years. her skin care practice was on the side, so far as i could tell. i can’t understand how this could happen.

Kathy, I’ve been watching that story unfold in some horror. I’m so sorry.
