Sunset Tanka

Blooms are temporay

for dahlia, her smile turns bright

and her soft tears falls

to cover the earth beneath

In hasrh conditions, she gives

July moon

getting my strength back

moving more closer

to the eternal source

that makes me

Bougainvillea blooms

Freshly painted petals show

Capturing my walk

as moths attract to bright light

I, myself become like one

#Tokpisin Translation

Plawa kisim lewa

Bougainvillea bloom

Nau yet, kala blo yu paint

Stilim laik blo mi

olsem butterfly long lait

Mi yet, tu kamap olsem
