glance

 

 

philanthropist gaze

your seductive charity

overwhelms the pauper lover

A blending of differences always makes us question the value of self, this is so beautifully concise Jacob and holds such impact to the reader's heart, beautiful :)

Inequality in relationships seems the norm Jacob. I used to feel 'blessed' if a woman took an interest in me. You capture such inequality in a senryu with impact.
