In the jade Buddha
almost a heartbeat
almost heard.

Along the coast road
sunrise sweeps
from wave to wave.

Late train home
street lights disappear
into autumn fog.

REM
yet sleep softens each fall
of her breast.

Snow melt
quietly murmuring
about stones.

Day winds down
through the stretched canvas
the sunset she is painting.

Art class
a lace curtain blowing
around their nude.

River’s edge
his dog retrieves
the school boy’s ruler.

Such unnatural desires
to reach the sun
Pine trees growing straight.

The fig tree is
a tethered brumby
the storm gathers.
