Issue 4 - March 2026 - Tanka page 10


bringing home a dog
on a bus
our eyes meet
much unspoken
wavering with heat 

Nicholas Klacsanzky, USA

beyond the smokestacks
at the end of the valley
where we fall anew
into the sky
every time

Steve Black, UK

walking sad streets
in drizzling rain
the last cable car
descends nob hill
and enters a barn

John Budan, USA

modern city
of glass and concrete
but it's always there
in times of turmoil 
the old lighthouse

 Boryana Boteva, Bulgaria

"is" changed to "was"
hung in the air like dust
in our living room...
framed photos on the mantle
behind glass I cannot break

Chen-ou Liu, Canada
