Tanka: Semitones

a calm sea in the warm winter sun

herring gulls
in the cold air
their cries
drop down a semitone
towards the sea

close up of a black whippet in a black jacket on the beach looking into the distance

above the hills
and the gulls that hover
in limitless blue
there’s a space we call home
that lives inside us too
