sun sinking -
another head
among the poppies

finding a sunbeam
the dog spins itself
into a dream

swans
punting upstream -
laid-back in themselves

the bush aquiver
with nestlings:
a green womb-full

slower than confetti:
cherry blossom
falls about the old lady

church bell -
cherry blossom
racing

an ocean of whitecaps -
on the grass
magnolia petals

rain through
cherry blossom:
face-painting the old man

heat
hanging
in the cherry blossom

on a cold wind
cherry blossom
leaving

pink froth
of cherry blossom -
sparrows bathing

through the park:
boots jewelled
with cherry blossom

dandelions -
already imagining
the ghosts you'll become

gooseander
head in its wing - flying
in another dreamscape

cherry blossom
fluttering down:
covers the swan

first ducklings -
cat's
yellow eyes

lost puppy -
barking
from the daffodils

blackbird's singing
fills the air -
even crow listens

crows' calling
drawing me deeper
into the woods

overhanging forsythia:
the stream
bubbling yellow
