hopeful bird
jan 1st midday

Picture
Together we lie,
A winter light shines in.
A hopeful bird sings.


february 7th 7.30pm

No sunsets tonight,
just a weeping sky, raging.
Saying my goodbyes.


spring
27th march 11.30 am

Picture
magnolia buds
light bulbs against leafless bark,
Spring grudgingly yields



joy
april 28th 7.30pm

Picture
Glad to be here
Sharing deep joy and light hearts,
Homesick for my love.



may 15th 7.45am

Dreamy curtains dance,
heat and street bustle drift in.
Life, but once removed.


house cat house wife
june 7th 6.35pm

Picture
Twilight, smokey grey
we watch the creeping darkness.
House cat and house wife.



july 27th 7pm

Sweaty twilight falls,
cicada's parched shouts drown all.
Shanghai's summer song.


anticipation
august 10th 9pm

Picture
The candles are lit.
Heady incense burn, wine chills.
The door slowly opens.



sept 24th 4pm

Dozing together
on our boat that goes nowhere
but makes us all one.


ghosts
October 31st 11pm

Picture
A witch's moon shines.
Tonight ghosts are whisper near.
I hope mine are here.




november

Leafless branches rasp
coughing a dry death rattle.
winter is waiting.


grief
december 31st midnight

Black, velvety skies.
Fireworks and aching sadness,
grief needs no passport
