Haiku
pink clover
I walk through
a multi-tonal hum
Christmas eve
the wing of an insect
on the sofa
beach sunrise
new sand patterns
underfoot
dawn chorus
steam rising
from the kettle
urgent surf ...
receding waves
merge

a taste of peat

the bare branches
of her magnolia

a stranger's blood
on my hand
