twin lakes
a duck dives in
the light of water
Re: Basho’

the waterfall
and your laughs
within hearing

wet weekend
the cicadas
hold back their cries

long weekend
the weed’s hold
pulls back

cake forks down–
our Grand-aunt
contradicts our Mother

road trip
the Southern Cross
all our way home

confessional
our new priest
slow to forgive

dazzling
the trams in light–
the midnight rain

sun danced
in the river
the stones we used to cross

after lightning–
beside the river
a cracked boulder
