The floods of darkness
burn and eclipse desert sky -
I burst into ash.
O dear wife and child, prays I;
I love you... goodbye.
A/N: May I present a distant relative of the haiku - the tanka. Similar to the haiku's own traditional requirements of line and syllable count, tanka are composed of of a line and syllable count - five lines and five-seven-five-seven-seven syllables to be precise. Tanka are usually written as love poems, mainly females to express their feelings to their current or desired ones, although exceptions can be made with the injections of nature/the natural world.
Wilson Stone is one of these exceptions - although he works for a chaotic organization dedicated to controlling chaos, he is also a loving family man and deserves a small bit of time in the spotlight. Enjoy!
