Loosestrife Tanka
By Frieda Gardner

 

 

1.

velvet invasive
remembrance of home not here
welling up along
the highway-daylight blanket
calming first, then comes regret


2.

sewn inside a hem
another good intention
now look what you've done!
wide-eyed foreigner, an Eve
wishing past the boundaries
