Memorial sequence on the anniversary of Pete Griffith's death

These three tanka are in memory of Pete Griffith who passed away a year ago. We miss you, Pete.

they have sold
your old house - since you went
to the stone home
with lonely garden
you will never tend

remembering
the clutter in your place -
they peer inside
drinking in the emptiness
that helps them to forget

a second
twixt present and past
now come and gone
short as a beam of light
long as eternity
