Deeper

depression

the three day puddle

gets deeper

Untouched letterbox

a red van passes

the untouched letterbox

leaves on the doormat

Ethereal Shards

ethereal shards pierce 

the billowing black rolls from sky to sea

beauty free and fierce

time turns like the lighthouse 

as each passing gust becomes history

your history never to arouse

Wall of Rain

distant light

a wall of rain

there but not here

Mackerel Sky

buttons to the top

a mackerel sky quilted 

over the bay

Seaweed

post-storm – 

strewn on garden steps

seaweed

Empty Bus Stop

mild midwinter 

a river glides by my feet

past the empty bus stop

Dry January

tea swirls 

as the clouds pour

dry January

Daylight Moon

daylight moon

voices rise and fade 

into footsteps
