1.
autumn leaves
dropping unrhymed
poems at my doorstep
summer gale
paper boat flying
ant in fold
tin roof
how little rain knows
of music
scent of orange
winter
on grandmother's lips
2.
kite
caught between branches
he’d have been nine
smiling moon
my garden
mops
up spillover
cabbage
and I
nothingness in layers
dry leaf
in between pages
forest burning
3.
mushroom
the way
dead wood speaks
orange-
still the same
only i need toothpicks
butterfly
a net
shadow and more shadows
moonbeam
fern’s afterlife
