Even that
In dusk light
Is somehow beautiful—

Late July—
Beside the road
A dead raccoon

this is nice - that you can see beauty in a dead raccoon. Beginning the stanza with a puzzling "even that" highlighted the next one.


BTW, you titled this Thanka - is this a form of poetry? are there any rules for this.  I am intrigued, maybe I could learn to write one??

Even in the most sickening of life's abnormalities...there is beauty.  Congratulations on being able to see all of life's profoundnesses (not a word...but you get the idea)!

Excellent!!

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
