the dance of her sister
she found this flower

all along the bank
fearing the storm's
moved the stepping stones

saving the glossiest paper
for pictures
of the eclipse

our idle chitchat
shamed by the industry
of the squirrels

I'm an old man
who lives in the hills
but I feel the tug
as each spring tide
disrupts a memory

a small boy
has been eating jam
suddenly
all the door handles
in the house
are sticky

Thank you!
my cookbook falls open
at a favourite recipe
I can pick you out
in a crowd of thousands

in the deepest winter
of my life I am playing
on a frozen lake
the heat in my veins
is the fear of open water

New Year
closing the garden gate
with a click

wave after wave
rainwater weaves
in the gutter

drumbeat and heartbeat
must both come to a
reverberating stop
Applause! and the Universe
heads for the exit, humming

below the table
I'm twisting and twisting
this paper handkerchief
no one is listening

I'm mesmerised
by her finger spinner
she is somewhere
beyond Saturn
#haikufeels (fidget)
#senryu ? #tanka ? #haiku
taking off my watch
and fidgeting
my words fall into place

off the street, the rooftopsΒ
my day, my dreams, my life
the hail bouncing

Alzeimer's...
all the tags
have fallen off
the presents

we scuttle
without thought
for the cloudless sky
a bolt of blue satin
from a high shelf
#TankaThursday (blue sky)

so many ideas
the crunch of gravel
under my heels

the dishwasher
rumbles on for an hour
in an unknown tongueΒ
and I know true things
that no one else will ever know
