white cyclamen
her nightdress wafts
last light

settling in the wake
of their feet
a pair of swans

morning frost
born on a puff of mist
the robin’s note

secluded pond
a feral cat drinks in
silence

such frailty
wild crocuses    we lean
into prevailing winds

across ice flowers
first thing
the skitter of wrens

cliff top walk
a snail bleached white
fills with rain


Easter Low Tide

Easter low tide
broke back hulls
expose permanence

Anemones
internalise

we take time to muse
a ship’s finality
demised in flint

ribbed reefs
stuck deep

our circled tracks
ephemeral
await each wave’s
elimination
