Dim hallway
the grandfather clock
unwinds its chimes.

Quivering still
a clap of thunder
among the wildflowers.

Blinding heat
bright lizard eyes
from the just-raked leaves.

Turtledove meat …
how tenderly the eagle
feeds her young.

Leaning all over father
replacing a wheel
on her doll’s pram.

Spring rain
cacti shaping leaves
to the same needles.

After the storm
our marmalade cat
tiptoes the lawn.

On the moon
only the river red Gums
reflecting.

Star blessed
the river and I
at our old town bridge.

Paint easel
a leafless tree
frames the moon.
