Bright bud renews/the straggly rose./Older blooms loosen untidy petals/curling at the edges/ready to fall.

Who goes out/through the wind/through wind-blown leaves?/A glimpse, a shadow, an imagining,/a memory, a momentary dream?

A flash of shade/from a swinging branch/and I think a bird’s wing/has crossed my window.

Sleek black/my cat lies against me/placed just right/for caresses.

we roam th night sky/where stars are flowers//by rivers of light/we sing to th moon//she is golden, I’ll never/relinquish your hand

Big sea darkening/heavy grey, churning /to white over black./Soft pink sunset/on soft blue sky./The moon/already radiant.

Two cats asleep on the bed/lying apart, curl/in identical shapes.

Th path to th beach/is closed after storms,/th gentle ramp to th sand/a cliff now, barricaded/with broken branches/barbed like wire.

What invisible out in the dark/fascinates my cat with fear?/He peers through the glass/arching his black back,/slow tail switching.
