Unknown runner on
a dark night street
Training, chasing, fleeing?
Unknown runner on
a dark night street
Training, chasing, fleeing?
The slightest shift
of curtains – is the
heatwave breaking?
My cat searches
for comfort on
a flat flat mat
Working after hours as
the garden’s fairy
lights blink on
Sister cats grooming
face wash
by paw lick
Full moon bleaching the
night sky a lighter
shade of black
The ginger cat
undisturbed in her
aged sleep
Losing my breath
at the hill’s top
A searching descent
Zig-zagging among
fallen leaves waltzing
with eucalypt castoffs
Wiggling my
shadow fingers tickling
the grass
Old house removed
Old fence remains
Binding airborne memories
The builder’s barking bulldog
greets me each day
with loving suspicion
Mother and infant
exercise class these
babies fit for sleeping
Grey clouds promising
rain before their
breezy farewell
Sitting at the
window watching the
wind’s invisible show
