crowded lift
no raising
of eyes
  
  
tonight
as you left
only half a moon
  
  
postal box
letting go
that letter
  
  
kite string
unwinding
the wind
  
  
chemotherapy
putting on a brave face
as she loses her hair
  
  
Canterbury nor'wester
the cat stretched
under the geraniums
  
  
skylark
rising
and falling
into its own libretto
  
  
formal dinner
the forgotten savour
of etiquette
  
  
nativity scene
angel
waving to grandma
  
  
Japanese garden how quiet the moss
