It’s been twenty years –
Might have been seventy years ~
Or one million.

I Saw a Little Bird
I saw a little bird –
Flying high in the sky –
I don’t know why –
– but I said goodbye.
and he said
‘Who on Earth is she? Maybe she is calling me.’
By Freyja Cleary (aged 7).
Overtime
A longer walk home –
Days lengthen ~ giving more time ~
Listen to birdsong.
Puc
While rocking the wok –
Children sing and dance ~ the song:
‘An Poc ar Buile’!
Gardening
Pruning Buddleia –
Before the Spring really starts ~
Then, of course, it snows.
Screensaver
Smartphones on the bus –
Each their own little Island ~
Ignoring the coughs.
Faith
Little Kilquade Church –
Friends sharing a sacrament ~
Warmth of a new Spring.
Circumference
…and when Death was near –
Archimedes drew the truth ~
Circles in the sand.
Familiar
The long bus ride home –
Know where I am, while reading ~
The curve in the road.
Particles
Part of Mount Fuji –
Part of a Cherry Blossom ~
The Boson cares not.
