Life, Tanka

Painting by Steve Hanks

I fly with the wind
I am free, nobody can
Put me in chains.

I come and go in this world,
I have broken all the chains.

Hatred, Tanka

“Hey! Have you ever
Hugged the wall because you
Are so different?

They would kill you because of
Your race your gender, your faith.

Eroticism, Tanka

Painting by Steve Hanks

A whisper – at dusk –
Send an invite to heaven
It carries your voice.

I already close my eyes,
Caressed by your words.

Fascism

Tanka

Fascism rises
Again everywhere in the
World, I can hear their

Bloodied boots crushing
Right, Liberty and lives.

Don’t be accomplice!

Deirdre, Love, Tanka

Painting by Dina Shubin

You play piano,
I play the violin like
In the first days.

We don’t need repetition,
Love gives us the harmony.
