kigo and kire—
my summer haiku bleeds
its heredity

cave paintings
the provenance of
the hunting

executive privilege—
worth the expense
at half the price

Mysterium Coniunctionis . . .
first joyful mystery
the annunciation

open mouth
in flew Enza
right on cue

gramercy!
meseems a sweven
comes usward

all creation
is groaning in labour . . .
the long wait

inner circle—
sweet william lies love-lorn
at the border

happy hour—
whisky tasting
on the TARDIS

a toddler's
"qu’est-ce que c’est?"
morning mist

stillborn beyond all expectations

in sleep
a ring around a
new moon

first breath
ever so slightly
of this world

the days before
when being you
could be no more

in between flashes
the presence of trees
no longer there

the glory of being not as it seems

miming memes
my mind follows the path
of least resistance

de profundis
silver-tongued lead
lights up the page
