the blackbird's nest
a dinner plate

my fish and chips

except
his invisible socks

midsummer day
the only breeze

this year's roses
blooming
without her

a bamboo flute!
just what
was I thinking?

in the cathedral

no shorts

another blow to my faith

the fisherman’s wife

boils a kettle

circling gulls

Portofino

another boatload of cash

arrives 

New World morning

a different

dawn chorus

quinoa

who knew

it was pronounced like that?

another broken tooth

dying

one piece at a time

freeing the bumble bee

it flies back in

from black through grey

to white

notan morning

monsoon arriving

she battens down

he boards

the long-haul flight 

low cloud

obscuring the sun

much mist

my umbrella

bone dry

at home

no urinals

in the women’s toilet

library cafe

the smell of coffee

mingled with words

in the hotel room

I name the gecko

Chairman Mao

long distance lovers
the space between
his New Year and hers

reunion dinner
just that moment
of hesitation

waiting for a bee
I write this haiku

a large headstone

matching

his reputation

their inheritance

he leaves them

his last breath
