Fog Slips Down the Hill

June 23, 2024June 23, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
salesforce tower through the fog

Fog slips down the hill
kissing windows and roads I
slide into my mind
and wonder where you are
who you have become


A Tanka.

Chinatown Night Market

lions dancing and
dragons fly in Chinatown
drumming Spring sunset
full of dim sum hot green tea
to the bar gin and tonic

you for ten years little pup
