A Fragile Tambour

Tanka

Shringi Kumari

--

And a Prayer. 3 September 2017. Atom Hovhanesyan son’s work, who passed away. Public Domain

My airless body
breathes in sour cacophony
Lungs beat like the heart
Throat is but a flume of noise
Body — a concave tambour

In response to House of Haiku and Deborah Christensen’s prompt — Breathes
