Tanka #1
 the dark sky dropped
poured itself into footsteps
a rose, quieted
she pinches eggs from next door
and sells them for ice cream

Based on the poem "A Rose Quieted" from the chapbook Brushing Back History.


Tanka #2
metal biting thing
exposes pulp pink flesh
water marries beads
of blood that took seventeen
stitches to thread together

Based on the poem "Seventeen Stitches" from the chapbook Something to Hide.
