Happy Winter Solstice! Glad to share this "tanka pair" with all of you. And glad I was able to collaborate with poet extraordinaire Jenny Ward Angyal.
Sanctum
Janet Lynn Davis
& Jenny Ward Angyal
ancient chapels
carved into the rock face
of Mönchsberg ...
once the tourists have gone
I crawl inside myself
JLD (Salzburg, Austria)
inscribed
on the torii gate
spirit of light—
fountains flowing
in the falling snow
on the torii gate
