sunflowers fill the horizon
petals picked up in the breeze
summer sunflower is ending
journey
through the long grass
blood sweat and tears
unknown the destination
morning sky
morning sky fresh flinted
dew or the memory of yesterday’s rain
waiting and watching and watching and waiting
and finally the sunrise
if the world slowed
if the world slowed
and stopped
and started spinning
in the opposite direction
could I hold on to you?
tsunami shipwreck
no warning
like the dawn her look falls on me
tsunami shipwreck
the mirror held
the mirror held up
before the closing eyes
catches the closing moments of a dream
small mirror
small mirror
sidelong glancing
how will the evening end
against a white sky
against a white sky
rainbows all colours of blue
changes tomorrow
the sky cracks
dreams remembered
a cloud drifts across her eyes
the sky thunder cracks
The haar
The haar eased in
like a metaphor;
the sun fought briefly
but not enough.
The couple on the beachside bench
stood
and walked away
from each other.
