open windows -
a siren divides the night

Deadly Nightshade

in the hard glare
of the sun -
Deadly Nightshade

restless humid night
in the sunken garden
a sun dial

no relief -
the office fans turn
dry sterile air

Summer Kingston Market

this early
market morning
filled with light
and fountain spray

Vapour Trail

high above
a white and silent line -
draws across the sky

the fresh wind chases
hot stagnant air
through deserted corridors

today the restless air
disturbs the trees -
ripples of distant storms

the pond retreats
sculptured by hooves
dries to a crust of mud

an idea from The Fire Sermon by T S Eliot

the summer
river at Richmond -
discarded
beer bottles paper plates
cigarette ends....


an idea from The Waste Land by T S Eliot

summer rain -
sudden sunlight
feeds a forest of ferns

Empty Classroom

June classroom
scattered chairs, empty desks
already forgotten

Exam Hall

no revelation
in the hard shaft of light
that falls into
the darkened exam hall
where they sit writing

busy flies
at the closed windows -
a rattling restless knot

Twilight Woods

darkening woods
thickens in the undergrowth
dissolves to black

midday sun -
island shadows retreat
into dark trees

peony -
marble of pink
explodes
