August 2014 – duncancleary

Exotic

Newly bought orchid –

Reminder of home, except ~

It can live outside.

Where did you come from?
Practically overnight ~
Old man eyebrow hair.

Soap is gone again –
Replaced for the umpteenth time ~
Must be eating it.

Rusticated walls –
Wood posing as stone, falseness ~
Most unlike the man.

The farm, the garden in bloom ~
Here he is, feeding the world.

The general’s house –

His sword at rest on his chair ~

Kale cane in the hall.

Looking for meaning –
Centenary awaited ~
Just another day.

Corner of the eye –
Ghost, maybe a floater, or ~
Fleckin’ Mosquito…
