one filmy cloud

in an overcast sky

I wanted

a world of white camellias

winter love affair

tanka by Diane Dehler

tonight in the
cool arms of another
I conjured you
your breath and touch closer
than the ones that held me

Belle de Nuite by Diane Dehler

belle de nuit
droop their petaled heads
moonbathing
In long perfumed hours
of a languid night

just the dark
smoke of 100 torched gold
chrysanthemums
I bow to you autumn
enter a season of grief
