rock still and hanging

meaning within my grasp

the lichen’s warm smile

climate ‘who done it?’ riddle

dying before the final exposé

it brought the house down

fire, fire, fire!

in the greenhouse

we play hide and seek

old hand’s hands 

a Dupuytren's contracture 

grasping at straws

a dead bird sitting 

on a nest in the graveyard 

rusty railings

footprints in the sand

understanding fathomless 

this way went that way 

seagulls bob

pebbles seethe

horizons don’t

where are the butterflies

meadow’s dark gossip of war

the butterfly effect

the surging blood

breathless somewhere over there

chopping rhubarb 

honeycomb labyrinth 

running through the dark pebbles 

the tears of neptune

a sparrow taken

a ruined spit of feathers

the cat licks her paws

apple in an old puddle

would you adam and eve it

once out of eden
