turn of the tide
the mainsail catches
a fresh wind (ld)
upstream
the tugboat pulls its own weight (jh)
your iridescence
lures me
ephemera ( tm)
flashes of noon light in the forest
last of the plum blossoms (vp)
summer heat
so brittle
the fresh cut flower (jk)
distant thunder
the hopeful croak of a frog (ck)
shortest night
hot in the storm
of your eyes (jw)
from beneath the rubble
the bloom of forget-me-nots (ld)
again
that memory of you
reading me to sleep (jh)
ghost gum and evening star
alone in my back yard ( tm)
insects rise up
from the pasture
autumn moon (vp)
the gleam
of a magpie’s beak (jk)
sports carnival
war cries
high as an autumn sky (jk)
wrapped in your arms
the air hangs on every breath (ck)
from our tree
children
gather fruit (jw)
early sun
a lizard begins its thaw (ld)
as the season closes
azaleas open
white, pink, red (jh)
moving forward
you light each lantern from the last ( tm)
