sun rises in the west
from a thousand reflected
suburban windows

slow ripples
on the still pond - like
stained glass

the Red Deer's
guttural roar - as if the
woods were on fire

in the gathering grey
of an October afternoon
pigeons squabbling

Camber Sands

the slurred landscape shifts -
I'm walking into grey

in the hollows
a pond cradled
in ice and snow

I walk into thick fog
and bring out a poem

at twilight
fields of blue snow -
glowing

across the garden
where I've retraced my steps
the snow remembers me

a frozen world cast in black and white

in the hush of a grey dawn -
snow is whispering

frost falling
like the soft paws of a cat
gently spreading

sunrise reveals
fields dissolved
with frost

mist stained yellow
with the leaves

this night
wrapped up in sleep
and fog pressing at my window

our fragile silence
framed by cannon fire and
a lonely bugle call

autumn twilight
even the gutters sing with
gusting tongues of fire

tonight I am waiting
for frost, bronzed leaves glazed white -
lining the streets

Red Leaves

a patchwork wreath of rust red leaves

river
gold leaf
in the setting sun
