How furiously
the tiger moth entangles
the circle of silk.

Moonlight
looking into the Gum tree
for the owl’s hoot.

Reaching the full moon
the nearly straight fence
of barbed wire.

Nylon dress
her hisses at lunch
reaching across the table.

Beach pavilion
an Emperor moth and I
outwaiting the storm.

A moray eel’s cave …
in circles with itself
while we swim past.

Single mother
still finding courage
in the new town.

The birding cat
that stone I just threw
which one did it hit.

Another autumn leaf
becoming litter …
the cawing of a crow.

Waterlilies …
no canoe glides
only mayflies hide and seek.
