Wife moving close…
near the end of the wedding
their nervous vows.

Autumn
raked leaves loosened
then the lizard’s eye.

Bus stop seat
a brown bite
in the red apple.

Weight lifter
his tattoos strained
by the bar-bell.

Tool shed door
so many wood shavings
gathered by the wind.

Cleaner than the others
a rain puddle
looking back.

Home from school
one smell from the kitchen
being fresh apple-pie.

Treeless dirt road
the rosella keep bathing
in their pot-holes of rain.

At child’s end
she nurses
a bird from the road.

Thunder rattles …
the quiver of ferns
in their garden beds.
