the old man among the tides
flies off as a pelican–
as light as air

green pastures
udders filling
cud by cud

the swishing cow
her many darts of flies
brought to the barn

how swooping
the seagulls fill
the after-storm breeze

mountain
the moon comes over
as snow

Monarchs
picking the river stones
to rest their migrations on

hair knots–
the salts of seawater
her mum combs –through

from the movie
a thousand rain drops
to the car park

So ! she was at home
reading love poems that rhyme
out in the garden.

living elderly–
close to the fish pond
the loudly croaking frogs
