Ice-cream parlour
a passing school girl’s
sudden pirouette.

Cornfield
the scarecrow with the wind
in his long red coat.

Barn doors
squeezing daggers
of moonlight.

Bathroom mist
after you
unsafe talcum across the tiles.

Between boulders
the canoeist bails
some rapids out.

Un-aware
the sky brushes the lake
until the pelican leaves.

Startling a jump
out of the cricket
the Temple gongs.

Unopened
next to your letter
a butterfly on the table.

Flower show closed
alone in its perfumes
an arc of the moon.
