Waterfall mists
giving the fairy ferns
their rainbow tears.

Her dance class tonight
such joy to utterly flirt
in these Latin rhythms.

No hint of surf
only the feel of quicksand
between the child’s toes.

Coins on the snow
how loved as she gropes
in school girl gloves.

Linen closet
between the blankets
last winter’s flu.

In frost
the hay-warm scarecrow
in his new red coat.

Neighbour’s terrier
half inside the rat hole
for its young.

Lead-light windows
only the dawn
crowding our church.

Perspiration
spots darken the wood
in the spinning lathe.

Letter-box empty
the magpie fight
has crossed the wet lawn.
