A GARDEN SCENE




& birdsong 
 
& wingspan mayhem
over all the seeds sultanas
scatter dropped like a carpet bomb 

& poised & weighted
summer fruits drop
to the rag tag lawn 
of onion grass & black ant canyons

& theres my patio chair
astride lost crossword pencils
& my coffee is here & hot
& trembling in the rickety

& a car alarm
wah wah wah wah 
for twenty minutes
twenty minutes
oh man !

& two magpies yell
at a thief of a cat

THE BLESSINGS ABACUS




full time
struggle pup
half wishes
for ignorance

half wishes
but

also
holds close

the 
neon demon knowing

~

full time
struggle pup
prevails & survives

with
slow 
deliberate
monk like
garden
patrol

full time
struggle pup-

well
his blessings abacus
got the paint worn off

~

today
theres
minimalist 
birdsong
infrequent

birds are 
disruption scattered

& slow to the call

today

~

there is
a gentle chaos
in dawns
sly function creep

the wind blows 
the wifi away
&
the overfarmed
magnetic field 
tumbles
lost
minibeasts
into
my
anxious paw

& my blessings abacus-

well
its got the paint wearing off

PERGOLA (EXPLODED) HAIKUS




sat on a bench on
slippery 
winter 
decking
berries are bright red

across 
the 
sea 
bombs 
are falling onto people
here - brittle birdsong

outside my boots rest
on 

cheap green plastic chair
workmens 
toil 
echoes
