ultraviolet urticaria 

a mid-summer night’s scream

 cool days 

are cold comfort 

to a fire 

 suburban morning

the bussed kids are passing

someone cutting a hedge

 down town radio

fenced trees and grubby pigeons

vivaldi’s four seasons 

 self

a floater

in self’s eye

 fledgling 

the old cat stalks 

at memory’s window 

 wind chimes 

my earring aid whistles

out of tune

less than 5 7 5

but oh

so much more alive

 extinction etiquette 

after you

no after you 

 my favourite dream

blossoms falling and falling 

on our riverboat 

our pasts visited 

we shared cups of tea

and planned our futures

 contemplation’s pond

the newts arrived at tea time

late as usual
