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

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.

Spider
only the male suitor
understanding her web.

Dance auditions
from the dark seats a thank-you
just that once.

Sea-front cafe’
waiting for friends
two moons approach.

Zen garden
turn after turn silence
of the green water-wheel.
