Poem Category: Miscellaneous

By degrees
the glint from the window panes
bedazzled with dawn.

After the downhill run
so much rests on the engine
finding its steam pounding throb.

Games of solitaire
through her open window
Saturday night.

Snow at dusk
the shape of the dog’s blanket
he drags inside.

Sea waves
until one rises
merely the shapes of singing whales.

Sunset spreads
husband’s last coat of paint
to our front fence.

The full moon
gathering light
out on the sea another.

Such unnatural desires
to reach the sun
Pine trees growing straight.

River’s edge
his dog retrieves
the school boy’s ruler.

Intersection
vanishing from the centre
the glitter of shattered glass.
