A Month of Writing Negative Space Poetry
I.
Breath on a Windowpane
it gathers,
an apparition of warmth.
a cloudy bloom on cold glass
where your lips
left breath.
and then
it thins from the edges
until nothing is left
but clear glass.
II. Senryu
winter breathing spring
the old roof stretches its back
and steams in the sun
