Poem Category: Miscellaneous

alone with rain
waving down the platform
to the train

farmhouse
a meteor passing
leaves its light

saxophones
beneath my cat nap
dad’s low vinyl jazz

resisted…
reading a pen-pal
at the letter box

dance class
I tell her
I trained without her all week

dance class
before the music
a soft-shoe shuffle

deepening leaves
grandmother’s autumn
beyond her

needing teeth
this smile
should be framed

Europe…
touring the village
Mum always lived

Black pond
a frog leaps into
the litter of stars
