one almond, waiting by Kristina Woodhillone almond, waiting
pushed under the fabric's edge
brown table-top bump

Author's Note: early morning revelation, right before it popped into my mouth. I liked this a lot, until I read David Hill's dozen ku-ryus and felt properly humbled. I am a brown table-top bump, I am.... ;)
