Carpe Diem - unwilling carpenter

moonrise
holding their hands on their knees
evening at a house

listening to hungry bed-bugs
calling from the old duvet

moaning walls
death of the last embers
hunger pangs

painting virgin snow
footprints cross the yard

lonely mother
searching in the straw
for what can't be found

unwilling - she's a carpenter
with yet another coffin made

frozen soil
spring will soon be met
in threnodies

sickness of a dying moon
she hails its sickle face

Carpe Diem Tan Renga "Ancient woman"

the ancient woman
cherry tree blooms at old age
an event to remember           (Basho)

before you shed the tears
for her falling petals         (Me)
