morning after (tan renga)

Out of the washbowl
I scoop up,
my distorted face

Out of the washbowl
I scoop up,
my distorted face
crow’s feet mock me
holding vigil no more

      1. It was my personal reflection of darkness too. When I had a feeling years go to go visit with my dying step-dad years ago, a crow smashed into my windshield…for us, it means there will be a death…he died that night.

      2. Exactly .. crows for us are omens of death … I think it has to do with past history … wars, plagues etc. and the crow is a scavenger …

    1. Nah, it give character! I remember when I was about 10, I was trying to practice tightening my face muscles to hide my worry lines on my forehead. I tell my young colleagues (average ag is 25) I earned every line…smiling too much, and worrying for loved one.
