Linger
For Hannah Moore's Yūgen - a Community Renga

a song inside my heart aches
linger in this land

Author's Notes: The brilliant mind of Vocal creator Hannah Moore inspired this Haiku. The Haiku stands on its own but was written to take its place in the Renga.
"Renga is a collaborative progressive poem ... join us! You just need to pick up where the last person left off, following an alternating format of 5,7,5 and then 7,7 syllable counts and linking your stanza to the last." -- Hannah Moore

After a long day in the department, Emily dropped her worn and tired dark leather bag on the counter before navigating through the small and disordered kitchen to grab a cold beer from a contrarily empty fridge. She hadn't had a chance to unpack since moving from Newcastle to Glasgow, let alone shop for sustenance, except for cold brews naturally.
