Short Verses
by Marie Bortolotto 2025


I.

new year's morning
only the crows and i
walk about



II.

decrepit house
festive decorations
still sparkle



III.

misty mountain
a buddha sits
facing traffic



IV.

tasting clouds
a tall pine soars
above the concrete



V.

twilight descends
the smell of
damp earth
