Blue Self-Existing Hand/ Electric Deer Moon of Service, Day 23

4 Manik

 

 

Blue Self-Existing Hand

Tanka*

 

 Now, because you are

Free to fly, I shine, glisten

And glimmer like a

Clear crystal Tear on the Tip

 Of your out-stretched feathered Wing.

 

*Tanka: A Japanese form of poetry comprised of five lines and 31 syllables: five, seven, five, seven, and seven syllables, respectively.
