TANKA PROSE: Lazy


Lazy
 

Too old to freshen, Grandad’s favorite Guernsey
chews cud in the shade of a walnut tree — breath
rhythmic and measured, as if summer itself
had steeped her bones. The one crooked horn
only adds to her dignity. 

        just enough breeze
        to ripple a day moon
        in the trough
             windmill blades churning
             a buttermilk sky
