In the balcony
matte silver hair
On opposite
another flame ending
In between
arrives morning sun
A little put out
Unselfconsciously I turn my head
A blackberry tree dropping
a yellow moan
In the lawn
Tales of anemones
Cool palms on my hair
It's October

WATCHING FISH
We pause at the glass and look in
They come sidling down to look at us
Solemn peaceful beauties
Gliding graceful in their thick liquid world
Big-eyed innocence, bubbles,
Children of the deep
Crowd down at the end to see us
They wave their fins and hover
Looking out with rapture of a lover
Staring unselfconsciously with
Mouths miming murmered mumbles
