Issue 4 - March 2026 - Tanka page 4
I greet myself
as if for the first time
a blade of grass
and its trembling shadow
new to the world's touch
Dru Philippou, USA
to be water
and carve ravines
through stone cliffs ...
why then, my regret
at our slow erosion
Suraja Menon Roychowdhury, USA
in a vase of spring flowers
one stem cannot reach water
it withers
while the others
blossom
Farah Ali, UK
first date
considering a kiss
on the park bench
the medical student
checks her pulse
David Oates, USA
bedside table
the space you filled
still warm
I trace the air
as if touching you
Nitu Yumnam, UAE
