One

Perfect shadows
of a perfect summer's day -
just the one.

Face

Bending to fasten
my shoe, I come face to face
with a tiny dog.

Purple

Rolling storm clouds -
purple as the scent
of lavender.

Jam

Bread and rhubarb jam -
an indeterminate
degree of sweetness.

Mind

Is it sunshine through
the leaves making these shadows
flicker - or my mind?

also here

Reach

Nearly midnight -
reach into the darkness
for a few words.

Day

Today, they say,
will be, will be, will be
a brighter day.
