sudden deluge

a bumble-bee struggles

on the footpath    

chill wind—behind

the tangle of branches

a ruffled heron

in my dream

the gurgle of the river

through a wonderland 

just dozing off...

the yap of a fox

seizes the night                                               

near day’s end...
an orange contrail arcs
the grey-blue sky

after you leave
your space taken
by light and shade

single stem plant...
attached to a hedge
by a spider’s thread
