Sondra J. Byrnes – USA (PJ30)

traveling alone
in a foreign language —
mine

finding my way —
one pocket for temple coins
the other for a map

kyoto station
says he’ll have no trouble
finding me

all knotted up worry beads

long DMV line
I flirt
with No. F14

over dinner
a friend admits
to an affair
breaking apart
a breadstick

afternoon walk
a friend and I
and someone’s dog

his divorce, broken truck
son on drugs
handyman

hydroplaning
someone with the same name
in the obits
