Feeling guilty...

Feeling guilty,

she pulls up milk thistle 

by the root.

Two Senryu? Two Somethings.

Waking a cat --
a flurry of furry fear,
then the look of Death.

-----

My back hurts again.
The weeds in the garden
rejoice!

At Studio Biongiorno

Cement garden strewn
with potted plants and fountains.
Some suburban peace.

Middle Age

The lush garden of
youth, with its brilliant self-hate
now fades, bit by bit.
