two eggs oozing into
a slice of toast at Breakfast
over and around
two at midday with sardines
watched by children through window panes

TANKA
My television
says “No signal”. I cannot
watch. My to-do list
is full of difficult tasks.
I do not move. No signal.

What happens to you,
Body, when we live on screen,
leaving you behind?
We don’t notice you until
you scream for our attention.

TANKA (corrected)
My mind, like a tree
branching far and wide, weakly
rooted in the ground,
calls to me: It's time that you
listen to your body's cries.

azure and beige scarf
created by knots in string
crocheted with passion
this is her Zen, mind gets lost
as hands loop yarn like magic

Your image was sketched
in my memory. Details
fading with the years.
Holding you, unseen, within
my heart, you are still with me.

a shell necklace
every knot tight
against time
he said he love me
not enough to loose his wealth

i lower myself into a cool clear pool

Poem: a knot in the scarf a knot in the scarf a kaleidoscope of color all stand silently handcuffs over suited wrists judgement swirls across the court paired with image of a View from the roof of the Rosebank mall, looking SWW towards the Northcliff ridge. Somewhere below is the hole dug when the Old Mutual building was torn down The iron railings look over the disappearing view as architects and businesses blind the eyes with concrete and steel. Artwork for contemplation only; a low-res copy of the original, unsuitable for commercial use, ©owner Words & image ©ilinkcs (2026/03)
a knot in the scarf
a kaleidoscope of color
all stand silently
handcuffs over suited wrists
judgement swirls across the court

delicate feelings —
roses newly opening,
beauty upon stalks
of thorns, sensitivity
protected from trespassers.

Squirrels bury nuts,
recalling the location
of thousands of them
whereas I don't remember
where I last put my glasses.

AGING TANKA
Daily I attend
to each body part. Each one
has a screaming voice,
making sure that I hear it.
Today — stomach, colon, eyes.

a new love
knocks at my heart’s door

i say come in to stay
it will be winter soon

the chaos of the day
start disbanding
the last snow melts
