One table two chairs
Standing room only
Tiny coffee shop
One table two chairs
Standing room only
Tiny coffee shop
Greenery draping itself
over fences
Summer’s casual hello
Silence before a storm
as though there were
no more questions
Sleepless in the
heatwave a night-scenting
jasmine for company
Rain-addled trees
showering us with
stormy leftovers
Folding clothes and
the day listening
to sunset’s parrots
Fence palings following
each other following
falling fallen
Old x-rays piled on
the top shelf
A bony jumble
Breezy gifts each
day from this
lemon-scented gum
Sorting one drawer two
A cupboard’s shelves
Hosting emptiness
New shop old
business its’ sign
past dusting
New shop old
business its’ sign’s
dusty past
On moonless nights
even the raindrops
darkening
Clouds comfort each
other pillow upon
cushion
Rosemary bushes
fencing privacy
in
