Children’s beach
our ‘Come back out loves’
lost in the wind.

Slender waterfall
her lip-licking sips
from my cupped hands.

Theatre emptied
only the rain before us
to the car park.

The park’s doves
sharing loneliness
in my sandwich.

Exam papers
out in the corridor
some hints of laughter.

Kindergarten asleep
just the beginnings
of crayoned art.

Stray dog
first to the school yard
at holiday’s end.

Your headlights split night
a little town of hamlets
with a bridge beyond.

silk kimonos
pausing lovers
the thinness of paper walls

past their eyes
dripping her lime bikini
up to her towel.
