Race course

two dragonflies drawing round

to the long strait.

Park bench

waiting for the Emperor moth

to leave first.

Removalist

all our years packed

in this single trip.

Christmas dinner

the lime ice-cream finding

grandfather‘s new shirt.

Taxi horn

in a moment she‘ll turn

in the hall to leave.

Fire works

shortening his chain

the guard dog‘s fear.

Beyond the mower‘s edge

leaning back

the daffodils.

Sunday lay-in…

the corner spider

now with dots of her young.

Dentist…

a cry too quickly muffled

behind the glass door.

Her front step swept…

recycling themselves

the crushed brown ants.
