Time for the Renga (Preview)

81.  Jose Faus - June 6 (post July 18)

Near Points of Rock

one even-toed ungulate

sniffs ancient winds

tramples barren seeds

shreds scruff grass

rolls in shallow wallow

lumbers to a slope

where a contract traveler

in one shot settles a score

oblivious to the season’s tone

Using the post above, I contributed to the conversation with the post below.

82. Lydia Lowe - June 8 (post July 20)

            
           Sitting, half hidden behind thick, green, leaves
           with a view to the kill
           and bearing silent witness,
           is a boy who thought he was a man.
           A tear runs down his cheek
           and he feels like a child again,
           longing to run away, hide, and yet,
           to scared to move with a contract killer
           creeping closer, still on the loose
           down below.
