August

rain mist slowly gathers

at the lily‘s mouth.

Interstate bus

milk for her babe

back behind her blouse.

Train platform

an ant crack just wide enough

in the slanting sun.

Thai remains

on the throw away plates…

cheap motel.

Chasing joggers

just barbed wire

in the guard dog‘s eyes.

Nearly midnight

the brief case stealing

the bus driver‘s eyes.

River walk

thrashing to the middle

the dog finds his stick.

Midnight

in the en-suite mirror

her shadow stays and stays.

Beyond the verandah

blinding rain … reaching in

for a handful.

Twilight chill

the owl sees the mouse see

the owl see.
