Full moon

crooning to the cattle

their favourite old tunes.

River‘s edge

his dog retrieves

the school boy‘s ruler.

Neighbour‘s dog

barking at shadows

until they come home.

Wind in my hair

sunset clings

to the sea-eagle‘s back.

Shower screen

testing the new glass

with my baritones.

Mountain bath

little flakes of us in the stream

going to the sea.

Icicles drip

but the verandah

is bathed in a cold moon.

Low tide

exposing the underarm odour

of the sea.

Railway cafe‘

the ordered breakfast

shaped to fit all.

Shopping with mum

one last tiny sulk

outside the pet-shop window.
