the dog barks
as the dustmen work
alarm ringing

two men on the street
talk about their health problems
a crow laughs

september dew -
a spider web between
the brake handles


***

lumière d'automne -
une toile d'araignée
entre les poignées de frein

mint in the grass
beneath thick trunks of ivy
frogs

leaves yellow and fall
the cat's shrubbery den
exposed

a finger of wind
creeps through the open window
a crow's call

rain – how much
before we all float
dry land  - a fairytale

yellow rose
casts its petals to the wind
fading buddleia

Finally I stop walking
Lingonberry lays down
its heavy load

Seisahdun viimein
Puolukka laskee maahan
raskaan taakkansa

rain clouds
reflected in puddles
swallow's flight

shelving
Labor Day's reads
romance, romance...

horizontal rain
hammers at the window
the cat, soaking

natures beauty grows
branches reaching to great heights
my silver oak climbs

yellow petals
cover the surface of the pond
autumn leaves

fiery montbretia
fives a last flare of colour
wild arum drumsticks

old man crow
eating apples on the tree
shouts at starlings

cobwebs
suspended in the hedgerow
glitter in the sun

thoughts of leaving
is it just a new corner

thoughts of leaving
is it just another turn

hints of change
first bout of allergies
champagnes grapes in markets

starlit night
the boy's feet even smaller
in his father's shoes
