Lily Scent
From the Blue Book
lily scent
the cat complains
under the deck 586
cricket soloist
summer dusk too bright
to view 587
clouds spilt
across summer sky
twilights chill 588
sparrows pace
old lady's book and the sun
sink lower 589
summer sun
shooing the wasp
from the lettuce 590
sage flowers
the gum trees
stuffed with birds 591
cut grass
the smell of rain
from the north 592
gum leaves drift
strands of silk between
the agapanthus 593
leaves drift
the silk between
agapanthus 593B
the house
hot with summer days
cool stars 594
which way
did the wind go?
counting weekdays 595
covered by
fragrant rain
the sun too 596
hawk wings
gaps filled
with wind 597
cicadas crik crik
the passing sun reveals
sage blossom 598
young trees
dip their apples
sparrows gambol 599
Basho's book
the fly walks
into shade 601
kereru -
branch
sinks 461
ha! snow
barely covers
empty pockets 463
hidden sun
songs paint
the fields 468
first magnolia
dusk dips to
mauve 473
autumn moon
parting the lake
morepork call 515
