Poem Category: Australian

a misty rain stops–
a butterfly enters
the door of our train

shooting ducks
one drowns
before the retriever bites

forest walk
my fear faced
in the spider webs

moonshine…
its orbit contriving
the ebb of tides

the rain stopped—
the ants being rushed
by the sunshine

half-drowned in the weir
crayfish feelers
at the tops of my legs

an alley cat
moves with the umbrella
in the rain

in stars
two fireflies here, no there
over the pond

snake
her shed skin
rolls slowly in the wind

holiday house
the air of the town
it breathes by the sea
