of his lips
couples therapy
his forced laughter
and her flooded eyes
for a moment
a spark from the subdued fire
the therapist smiles

So poetically beautiful with your well chosen words, Padmini. I, too, am cheering on the therapist for a successful revival of love.

Usually, I stick to haiku. Senryu is a new form for me. Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Krystyna. Comments are closed.
