M Kei or anyone who can identify this, please don't be shy.  M Kei wrote a tanka
that I stumbled upon in cyberspace.  Here is a paraphrased version:


i'm drawn to you
because your darness
is unlike
my own


If anyone or M Kei can post the exact wording, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

Tye

Beautiful Gene,

What's left unsaid speaks volumes.

an old one of mine

a delicate flower
battered and bruised
by the wind -
these past few months
that's how I've seen you

(MET V3 N4)

I felt they worked together somehow!

Best wishes

Paul (Smith)
