snowflakes touch portholes
no face alike

I stretch time
Holiday photos
on my desk
-
Footprints in hot sand
A wave of pedestrians
wipes out yesterday
-
Her swells and
troughs linger on shore

In small hands
sparklers cast spiral
galaxies

Timeless play
dawn frays the tail end
of night’s arc

Owl asks who?
A billion stars wink

Evening dress
Milky Way girdles

Out of blue
irises summer
skies unfurl
–
Falling sky
Blue hydrangeas cloud
the garden
–
Blue iris
tongues uncurl to catch
water pearls

Spider’s web sparkles
Pendent summer raindrops long
for the swelling sea
—
In haste, summer clouds
leave countless rainbows behind

Etch’d against far hills
her lime scarf turns feldgrau:
he stops waving

Small feet drag:
ringing bells cause buds
to quiver
-
Paper planes
trail fragile petals…
first bell rings
-
Spring break ends:
teacher’s pet plucks the
first apple.
-
Spring-break tales:
book turns own pages
in fresh breeze

Ribbon snatch’d;
ponytail undone:
gleeful spring

School kicks off:
discarded lunch lies
on green field

A quicksilver tail
returns the moon to the sky …
cold light blinks cat’s-eye
-
Behind waves
a fin cuts the moon …
warm evening

A crack’d moon:
nude oaks finger an
icy face

Bright orange
colours the water:
thoughts are quenched
-
The last leaf,
an imminent kiss:
yellow pond
-
Shiny stepping stones;
ginkgo leaves on bright water:
a hesitation
-
He looks for a smile
on ochre-dappled water …
leaves disrupt her face

Lente hap-hap aan

lazy summer sun
faces eager autumn moon:
i shine silver-gold

Vernal I
desperate young doves
dodging the cruel cawing crows -
virile spring is near
Vernal II
far from the city
i dwell in birdsung stillness:
spring’s chitter-chatter
