Vacuum bottles

the slurp of cooked peaches

spilling warm and sweet.

Old school rooms

the little sound of a boy

attending quietly.

A warm barn…

out of the sudden storm

onto her straw breasts.

Blue summer lake

too gentle to stir its surface

the breeze moves on.

Job interview

under-arm deodorant

hiding myself.

Thunder rumbles

the calf‘s after-birth

shaping clouds of flies.

Grandmother‘s gift

the brooch clasp

losing its gold.

Intersection

vanishing from the centre

the glitter of shattered glass.

Art class

a lace curtain blowing

around their nude.

Pretty tot

with nothing but chocolate

to shape her mouth.
