Magnolia blooms –
Battered by the growing wind ~
White plates on the lawn.
Peter the Bluetit –
Freddy the Robin redbreast ~
I’m in their world now.
Dust on my fone screen –
Appears at first to be stars ~
In my moon picture.
Light in the garden –
Beckons to a warmer place ~
Problems with sleeping.
The sound of water –
Depends how long I shower ~
The rain on my ear.
Something to enjoy –
Most pleasure I’ve had in weeks ~
The single new frond.
Spider explosion-
Trying not to disturb them ~
Then they move their webs.
Swimming facing down –
Chasing the sun sand ripples ~
Small fish ignore me.
–
Two moped girls pass –
The passenger is stroking
Driver’s ponytail.
–
Contact lens bubbles –
I brought a set of ten pairs ~
Helps to measure time.
–
Swim to the island –
A church once stood here ~
Now, a lost sarong.
–
A holiday ends –
Inflatables left behind ~
Drifting in the breeze.
