her greetings
fly out to the car
home for Easter

night class
planning each small snip
of the bonsai

a leg bone knitting…
an afternoon nap
takes up time

so quietly it floats
the lemon Gum that lent
to the river

sudden red light
our car’s soft rear
crumbling

little garden helper
the splinter withdrawn
and kissed by Mum

rustlings in autumn
the naked surprise
of a white Eucalypt

cabin door
tea mug warm in my hands–
warm going down

ebb tide…
the seas and skies
of the rock pools

a frog plopped…
taking its sound
to deep water
