bus stop twilight ...
I inhale every puff
of a stranger's cigarette,
the favorite brand
of my deceased father

Happy to share my senryu & tanka published on VSANA (Viewing Stones Association of North America) today. The stone was Cascata. This Palombino stone is symbolic of a waterfall slowly cutting into its face.
Grateful to dear Thomas Elias for the publication.

still missing
