Letter box
the post man straightens
the old girl’s fence.

Telephone line
with the laughs of kookaburras
to something just heard.

Antique shop
rings in the table top
showing the maple’s age.

Train whistles
the snow quiet town
closed for the night.

The tide returns…
driftwood stays
breaking waves.

Shower mist
following her into
the frangipani scents.

Debutante ball
with chrysanthemum
white smiles.

Scarlet forest
sunset slanting
through the ghost gum leaves.

Garden pond
the many turns in moonlight
of the golden carp.

Door slam
his loudly bruising finger
that mum kisses.
