Opening night
over the city
lightning fingers.

His first school day
I must wait, pruning the bonsai
in the patio’s sun.

Sunday morning
a tiger moth in danger
of my mower blades.

Suddenly awake
blinking at the lightning
city lights.

Circus lights
seeping from her balloon
‘Its tiny orange breaths’.

Palm reader
a strange disturbance
hand to hand.

Dog chain
the taste of his biscuit
a tongue away.

Empty platform
following the express trains
the morning’s paper.

Family court
a pooling in the child’s eyes
being brave.

Rain forest
an unfamiliar axe thud
a Gum flutters.
