traveling alone
her stories
intricate as the design
on her needlepoint purse

hovering
above our dashboard—
three of us together
miles away from home

May your travels through 2015 be bright and fulfilling!
P.S. A friend and I were privileged to meet the "widow" at afternoon tea while on a cruise ship voyage.
Enjoyed these travel tanka. The first one, for me, had a lovely Agatha Christie vibe. It hovers in the air, as if waiting for a scintillating, mysterious yarn to begin unfolding. There's something about that needlepoint purse that unleashes the inner sleuth in me, I think.
