Pink flowers like lace,
Drop! To the clean wooden floor
The vase is naked.

clouds crossing the moon
a sudden shift in the wind
nothing lasts but change

Tonight the sky glows
The stars sparkle and the moon glows
The sky is alight tonight.

January light
Stone-yellow castle guarding
Periwinkle skies

the blue tit’s eyestripe –

It never grows old.

Eternity glimpsed,
Heart hollowed, empty breath,

Autumn worn—wind torn
the last blooms of Queen Anne’s lace
