Lost
Foggy spring morning—
I grieve for all that I lost
when I blinked my eyes.

Spring Melancholy
1.
I pluck from the shelf
yet another empty cup—
spring melancholy
2.
I sip bitter wine
after laying fresh flowers
on my father’s grave.
3.
I am too jaded
to taste how honeyed the hours
we share together.
4.
I swear at the thorns
that keep snagging my jacket
on the mountain path.
