Poem Category: Miscellaneous

in salt-pan smells
dragonflies mate
along the breeze.

Zen garden
the cicada shrills too
diminished here.

Lift operator
whichever pretty girl
he coughs.

Harvest moon
the tom cats frozen
with snarls.

Scotch on ice
the whisky-grained caw
of a crow.

Being dawn
tree after tree
the shadows stretch.

Children’s beach
our ‘Come back out loves’
lost in the wind.

Slender waterfall
her lip-licking sips
from my cupped hands.

Theatre emptied
only the rain before us
to the car park.

The park’s doves
sharing loneliness
in my sandwich.
