pathos is the skyward tanka
by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé
a mother swathed in muslin
scavenging, rubble
behind the sea of biscay
a burned down house on a mound
a bargain respect, absent
what was us, what was sweet home
lost to an ornery sound
shanks pressed into the pallid
how they grieve even –
in flight, there’s nothing
no coast, of drift, remembrance
so she writes because
she forgets what she puts down
rope and field of lies
rising flames, a white refrain
driftpin verse forms miscreant
as if resting on water –
a sail, ascension
