Red Poppies still growing

red poppies
lean into steam
off the wet path
ab

in the fernery
fingers press sweating glass
jcr

fierce heat fades
evening twilight glows
a pink line
lw

a fly stumbles
at a water glob
lu

folding clothes
she drinks dark coffee
moon observes
kh

the grasses seeding
green fruit swells above
jco

midnight light
on watered garden
goat dung smells
hm

four pink peonies a gift
sheets need washing
jj

remembering
love - a red petal
her tattoo
al

forked over
the compost steams
ab

a worm
the uneaten meat
a grey hair
jcr

the peopled world spins
cars stall in traffic
lw

moon bright as frost
field of white goat skulls
intruder light
lu

postcards from annapurna
clouds of breath hover
kh

before dawn
we dread the heat
promised to us
jco

a darkening sky
rain splatters fresh hay
hm

green light
on the cherry blossom
a morning squabble
jj

a fat bud cracks open
rising rivers roar
al

present for you, Gran!
red eucalypt from
council tree butchers
ab
