hopping up the stairs
the chorus of
frog-catchers
in the flower
arrangement
her beauty
missing you
less than I thought -
birdsong at dusk
Singapore sundial -
‘what thou seekest
is a shadow'
in the foreground
of the mountain
small clover flowers
just before
I lock the door
suddenly afraid
the rain
heavier
than tears
restless night -
van Gogh's stars
in the sky
stormy day
someone is picking up
seaweed
reflection in the bath
my head around
the pudenda
