Dinner table
coming in with the dog
his sad hungry stares.

Family lunch
arranging thin ripe tomato rings
around the cool white plate.

Bathroom mirror
the day brushed into
her tousled hair.

Thunder rumbles
the calf’s after-birth
shaping clouds of flies.

Ceiling fan
finding just bedroom heat
to twirl and twirl.

Front verandah
following the students past
the old girl’s wave.

White rapids
roaring at the boulders
before the river falls.

After the rain
moonlight growing
in to mushrooms.

First Gum leaf
on the knotty branch
tickling the breeze.

Spider
only the male suitor
understanding her web.
