Sunset Sinks
from the Blue Book (pebm)
sunset sinks
goose bumps under the
sun umbrella 100
falling tree
lumberjack crickets
call timber 102
field mushrooms
the fungi book recommends
vomiting 104
autumn find
lost dumbbell
hidden again 105
eating plums
the sweetness of summer
renewed 106
tsunami
her outstretched hand
a memory 109
frozen duck
choosing a fatter tie
for the banquet 110
paper flowers
the luminosity
of an ebbing sun 113
winters portent
fall leaves quivering
in the wind 115
pale day
ponderous clouds
fill the stream 116
shifting winds
abruptly recalling
yesterdays dream 119
irises
how radiant
my dreams 122* ref Ogawa Shushiki's death poem
sitting still
the winds
gentle passage 123
introspection
the tapering light
of altar candles 125
sea mist
the muffled toll
of a ships bell 126
veils of rain
lavender scent
in the lane 127
drought
the lake shuns
the beach 128
boatsheds
the weathered paint
of upturned hulls 130
boat shed
the weathered paint
on upturned hulls 130A
dawn lake
duck silhouettes
emerge serene 131
autumn walk
the hoarse crunch
of each foot fall 132
night terrors
shush little fears
shush 133
afternoon lake
dreading the shock
of first contact 134
snowflakes
overnight the world
indistinct 135
winter comes
the forests sacrifice
makes the pyre 136
movies
dropping lollies
on the floor 137
