Meeting old friends

our coffee-cup talk

in and out of shadows.

New year

finding rust gathered

in the widower‘s car.

Ape bellows

his mate steps from the bushes

suckling their babe.

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.
