October / Archetypes by Jason Ryberg

1) October (Tanka)

A Halloween wind
is moaning a low oboe
tone through October's
dark haunted forest of strange
     birds and boney xylophones.



2) Archetypes (Tanka)

The wind has always
    been able to read our minds
and the ten thousand
    myriad archetypes have
    their own memory palaces.






Jason Ryberg lives part-time in Kansas City, MO with a rooster named Little Red and a Billy-goat named Giuseppe, and part-time somewhere in the Ozarks, near the Gasconade River, where there are also many strange and wonderful woodland critters.
