forest night –

grandpa is sipping green tea
grafting fruit trees

an old woman
warming herself by the fireplace
white rooftops

hunger
the bone gnawed
all day

weeping willow
strands of hair
hide her tears

cracked window
two sides to a view

raindrops all day
stones on my roof

tea garden –
we pluck out two leaves
worth of memories

dwindling lake –
an egret turns her gaze
to the sky

distant howl –
night closes in
tree by tree,

spring evening
inked on her ankle
cherry blossoms

mountain road –
we drive past the sun
on hairpin bends

fast train –
the cry of seagulls
before and after

cut off kite
the sound of children
fading with it

first light
last night’s rain
cupped in a mushroom

bush walk
surrounded by bird song
cyclist whistles past

blue sky
clouds drift by
gibbous moon

windswept
she sweeps leaves
her hair blown

courting couple
pink and grey galahs
step in tandem

information

sailing under the bridge
on a seed pod

Japanese garden
fruit bats and tourists
chatter

old enemies help
each other go around
the pill box

summer sky –
our fluttering kites
battle it out

blackout ­–
we sit on the porch
counting stars

the silver river below
the charcoal sky

inside a windflower
a new summer’s day

railway mosque –
a flash of blue
a kingfisher takes off

neck deep in wheat fields
peacocks pick their way
through pools of mud
