Smoke obliterates the moon's silkscreen stamp,
yet still the tides surge as high,
suitors sigh besotted.

broadcasts her scabrous rumours—

sheath, beacon, blade, landing pad
still life, oracle

whisperings at dusk
lissome slither of grass snakes
shifting through dead leaves
long shadows attend
crescent chirps, hoots, chiffs and whirs
twilight counterpoint

a pebble washed on shore
rounded by tides, sunbathes, dreams
of immovable might

scoring the paddock
daffodils blare xanthic fanfares
to passing bees

hidden in undergrowth
limbs a-quiver, a dormouse
follows the hawk's sweep
