Dark hallway

with a fruit bat giddy

at finding each corner square.

Bathroom mirror

the day brushed into

her tousled hair.

Tension between us…

listening if her dreams

may set loose a name.

Garden Buddha

a sliver of moonlight

has crossed to the feet.

Day winds down

through the stretched canvas

the sunset she is painting.

Dawn opens

the first magpie for a moment

clearing its throat.

Elections

around the public speaker

his stretched coat.

August

rain mist slowly gathers

at the lily‘s mouth.

Interstate bus

milk for her babe

back behind her blouse.

Train platform

an ant crack just wide enough

in the slanting sun.
