Family picnic –
Swifts circling, feed on the wing ~
A fine stand of pines.

We are all shut down –
Nagging feeling about this ~
Nature is smiling.
Magnolia blooms –
Battered by the growing wind ~
White plates on the lawn.
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.
A moment of calm –
Deciding what to read next ~
Or to read at all.
Bought plant today –
Jazz playing as I did so ~
Won’t let this one die.
