- playground leaves the rattle of hometown ghosts . . .
- first daffodil . . .
- beachcombing the detritus of us . . .
- cold light another empty bottle promise . . .
- border attack . . . . . .
- on the mend . . . . . .
- final prognosis different clouds on the horizon . . .
- first encounter . . .

- familiar tune my children’s voices?above the . . .
- disused road roots resurfacing . . .
- midday heat still ticking abandoned bicycle . . .
- unable to help myself rip tide . . .
