Young visitors
the cat’s white tip tail
through the French doors.

Family lunch
arranging thin ripe tomato rings
around the cool white plate.

Bathroom mirror
the day brushed into
her tousled hair.

Thunder rumbles
the calf’s after-birth
shaping clouds of flies.

Ceiling fan
finding just bedroom heat
to twirl and twirl.

Winter morning
leaving the train station
a friend’s last wave.

Front verandah
following the students past
the old girl’s wave.

White rapids
roaring at the boulders
before the river falls.

Out of the windstorm
whistling
from the cave’s mouth.

Autumn leaves
slipping over
wet bends of the road.
