duck pond
the bread an old girl takes
to bring them

3236

dust storm
stealing the farm’s top soil
out of our hands

3235

strawberries
our after-lunch picked
from Mum’s clay pots

3234

hoarfrost–
through the hanging icicles
a magpie… sings

3233

forest edge
a lone axe lightens
the shadows

3232

blue-skies drought
waiting in the Gum trees
buds under their bark

3231

I row … they paddle …
our countries shared
with migrating geese

3230

an overnight snow
the hills
divided among themselves

3229

first talk of divorce
I follow her outside
into the dusk

3228

lighthouse
over the beach of pebbles
the yacht’s__ pieces
