only the weeds
listening
to my lament

Sunday 19 April 2020

forming an orderly queue
sparrows
at the birdbath

hot
  spring
    harvest
      moon
         beam

leaving my dinosaur
of prejudices
in the Jurassic parking lot

the insistence
of
wood pigeons

Liminality - Sequence with Erin Castaldi

eagle cry
jolts me out of
spring fog
****

from the undergrowth
the year begins
croaking
****

old bog
the black beaks
of Tundra swans
****

snowmelt
losing its grip
on the mountain
****

daylilies
the last time I
dreamt in color
****

fading light
the last bee
hurries home

Çiçek tozları
Sürüp giden
Olası fırtına

the sun
leaving her smile
on a stone

dusk chorus
all the birds
sundowning

springtime
gradually disappearing
my neighbours

a butterfly
puzzled
by a pane of glass

a woodpecker
but not
where I was looking

my electric toothbrush
humming a tune
for me
an oblivious bee
zig-zagging
between headstones

overcast
a patch of blue
races across the sky

winter's death throes
birch blossom
