first light

not enough words

for green

The Heron’s Nest – 8:3, 2006

bursting

to tell someone

magnolia

rising river

a shadow still wedged

between the rocks

a length of rope

knotted with seaweed

pull of the tide

The Heron’s Nest – 10:2, 2008

wild blackberries

the difference between ripe

and not quite

cutting a bruise

from the last peach

your broken promise

            Presence – #37, 2009

dry river bed

a fawn licks the colour

from a rock

            Shiki Kukai – Sept/08

snowberries

edged with frost

I bite my tongue

autumn equinox

we each make one

side of the bed

White Lotus – #7, 2008

no moon

the sound of leaves

catching rain

            White Lotus – #8, 2009

amber light

the time it takes

a leaf to fall

            The Heron’s Nest – 10:1, 2008

winter branches

all those spaces left

for plums

            White Lotus – #7, 2008

wind whistling the dark whirr of a helicopter

            Notes from the Gean – #4, 2010

a scattering

of bone-white stars

winter's end
