Dance auditions
from the dark seats a thank-you
just that once.

Sea-front cafe’
waiting for friends
two moons approach.

Zen garden
turn after turn silence
of the green water-wheel.

School picnic
our walk downhill
to join the games of the others.

Fewer migrating geese
out of the storm
out of the rainbow.

Peach orchard
picking the ravages of the hail
that taste as sweet.

Crossing
on the new sheets
the barbed claws of her kitten.

Camp fire
brewing our coffees
of mountain snow.

Winter picnic
our shadows and our edges
lost in the grass.

After lunch
an octopus tugging, tugging
at the angler’s sleep.
