Hunting
the cat’s ears
a lizard in our raked leaves.

Twilight
lips taking the salt in
from the sea’s breeze.

Road rage
coloured and coiling an arm
his snake’s tattoo.

Midday heat
the sugar ants rushed
along the grape vine.

Birthday cake
among the patio ferns
her greying friends.

Sail-board race
a flash of dragonflies
in the river’s reeds.

Tiny scolding tot
her old dog’s laziness
in the midday shade.

Wind in my hair
sunset clings
to the sea-eagle’s back.

Pretty tot
with nothing but chocolate
to shape her mouth.

Dawn opens
the first magpie for a moment
clearing its throat.
