every room electric light
reality t.v.
he wonders if it’s tuesday
neighbour
at the door, another jar
she can’t open /sw
*
her secret passion
datura noir and
white camellia
seeping through
Victorian atomisers
hidden in a hope chest /ha
*
lingering scent
he fingers the reminder
of last night’s loving
ghosts entwine
beneath the indigo lake –
remembering her warmth /rm
*
something rusted like a cloud
north wind
the ‘sale’ board faded stoops
yet in the orchard
daffodils, more than before
sun yellow /sw
*
the moon sinks
rising from the trees
a certain coolness
at day’s end —
Darjeeling steeps
into deep amber /ha
*
office block
as darkness creeps
she works alone
only a love-sick cat
and frozen sheets
to call home /rm
