waiting for the sheep to pass a skylark's song
black cattle
among the trees
heat lightning
stuttering light
the sound of tea
being poured
the first brush-stroke
black
the sound of thunder
dull day —
the way a raindrop
runs down the banana leaf
holding a moth
in your cupped hands
moonrise
folded in the corner
of the linen cupboard –
a moth
last rose
how pink
this morning
