Magpie
letting the light gather
around her cracking egg.

Lily pad
pink for the moment
a breeze lifts its skirt.

Distant thunder
behind dripping trees
shadows of the red apples.

Dinner table
coming in with the dog
his sad hungry stares.

Bathroom mirror
the day brushed into
her tousled hair.

Thunder rumbles
the calf’s after-birth
shaping clouds of flies.

Front verandah
following the students past
the old girl’s wave.

White rapids
roaring at the boulders
before the river falls.
