TANKA

 

situation normal:

she turns the heat up

as she leaves for work           

and I'm stuck with

our hungry larvae

the long voyage

through hologram billboards       

there was a time

you could see the stars

before you reached them

 

LeRoy Gorman

 

***

 

mother beams proudly

horns so alike and yet not -

wings of quintessence;

she must choose wisely the skull         

he will snugly grow within

 

Albert W. Grohmann
