There's a gazelle across the canal with a chin like a peach, yet
I am not the one who I want him to
want me to be.
The gentle fawn passes: slim of flank, so delicate and tender, and
I was not the one who I wanted him to
want me to be.

Thank you. I love your work. Envious of the quality quantity. I'm a snail.
TIMELESS
Following the magnetic
lure of the dynamic
power in the carnival
jungle perpetual
indifference & aggression

Some seek
real one

RINSE, REPEAT (alliterative ardor)
Luminous droplets
Rinse the dross from my spirit.
Inner lucency!
Sticky old shadows dissolve.
I can breathe the scent of stars.

Luv Renga chain play, yes then another haiku, then another 2 lines and so on.... Or were you thinking of, just finish the tanka, to see the variations. That would be cool too.
Still, when I hear
your music, which is playing
now, I am totally in synch
with you that I loved.
You tuned me in.
Where would we be
without people
showing us things?

it's an act
of sympathetic magic
a deep and finally
organic belief
as if peeling a fruit
with great affection
that in your certainty of being
you are a star

I cannot
involve my sleeves
without
a yearning for
an available drench
of unseen years
there's a poem

we remain in place
our heart whispers
encompass our breath
tracing our paths
in the dark
until the sunrise
finds us

well do you sleep
dreaming of man
and his symbols
look at your hands
awakened to this
floating world
old buckets
can't keep

Dear P
Got no game
like the girl with
her hair tips hanging
in her coffee across
from her furry-armed
baby-face boyfriend
who's knitting her
a sweater for war.
I flirt with trees—
you have
awesome eyes
I tell some.

the way he is walking now
who is that changed boy
I remember you
before you boarded that train

Thanks for intro to Niikuni! Brilliant! His ideographic pallete bursts with ripe visual intention and meanings. I was dabbling as a college kid taking Japanese language courses.
(original version)
riding in your car
driving through the snowy trees
your hand on my knee
long before this night came true
that I loved a different you
ok omg, (if I didn't say so before) I love your work! This one is so clever.
I too dabbled in kanji concrete poetry.
Here's one I recreated from memory.
It's a toughy for those who don't know the kanji:
center = "surrounded"
around = "dish"
