wet ivy dripping

into the cold pond

carp unseen

Sunday Mass

blessing myself

with alcohol gel

a curlew takes flight

into the grey sky

****

a curlew takes flight

into the grey sky

just the

                silent

        sound

        of

                one

                    leaf

water calligraphy

seen

but not read

concrete mushrooms

I whisper

to insects

the bare stone

after

the frog jumps

from behind face masks

seeing each other

eye to eye
