fraternal spirit
four schoolboys
eating the same pie
  
  
cicada robes
hung everywhere
but no song
  
  
in the dew
a hundred
thousand moons
  
  
higher than the wind
at night
migrating birds
  
  
riverbank
lined with hats
whitebait season
  
  
south road
crosses on a fence
where a family ended
  
  
nobody home
the evangelists
talk to the dog
  
  
first love
the secret her face
tells everyone
  
  
late walk
beach and moon
the same curve
  
  
all the notes
in the skylark's song
sky blue
