in and out
of shadow
   vanilla lilies

in his coat
rain from every puddle
we passed

summer silence..
      jesus in a manger
on the mantle

kangaroo
on the road
life still in her

mountain morning
    leaving the river
            as it was

summer breeze
presses and passes-
she wears only a dress

red glow left
in grey morn-
street light off

i enter and leave
the birds behind me-
bus at dawn

cold day
running and yelling
into the sea

fading light-
seed heads shiver
above still grass

honey-eaters-
pleasantly finding
a tree-full

sand castle-
the moment before
the avalanche
