Fifth birthday

yawning as she yawns

her black puppy

Cicadas

filling the summer sunset

with the last chorus

First circus

scowling her face

the balloon‘s sudden pop

Tugging… more sea

at the end of its chain

the pleasure yacht

With the stick

with the dog

with the river

Shooting star

I uncork an old shiraz

to let it first breathe

Wine festival

a few of the tourists

learning when to spit

Rain puddles

the school boy running-in

his new shoes

Feet up

the slow turn of the lime slice

in her rose tea-cup

Camp fire

brewing our coffees

of mountain snow
