it has no colour
this grief
no weight
but the sound
of your name

For Dad

Paul Smith said...: Hi Kay (& welcome), Brian, John & Devika. Thank you for your kind words/thoughts.

It has been a tough week, during which the presence of friends, both physically and electronically has been a huge help.

Thank you again.

As ever the tanka are brilliant.

I did write a haiku straight after my father's funeral (about two days after):

the rain
almost a friend
this funeral

I hope to see you soon.
