Flickering light
Tiger painted
on a city wall

Flickering light
Tiger waiting
in a forest tree

Dreams
Sea nets
at dusk

Stormy night
Curtain blows from
the open bedroom window

Twister cuts
through the open field
The sparrows

Humpback breaks
through the swelling sea
The gulls

Wooden fence
in the shifting dunes
The wave breaks

Wooden fence
in the shifting dunes
The wave recedes

Ferns cross
the sunny patch
Children play

Hostas return
We can’t retrace
our steps

Turn out
all the lights
Night sky

Drive
until we can see
Night sky

Give me back
the stars
Night sky

Chess or
checkers
Two brothers

First kiss
Kettle steams
