I saw a new star
I followed to where it stopped
Faith has led me here

Haiku: ‘Birthday’
Six decades fly by
A life in tragic shadow
Benign conclusion?

Haiku: ‘O, November!’
Drops on washing lines
Joyless British flags, hanging
Blackbird’s stark subsong

evil routed through the stars

Haiku: ‘Storm’
Eye of the dark storm
Pray for our elevation

Haibun: ‘Isabella’
The sea was writhing at Seahouses. Northumbria wild, voices calling on the wind blown from Hyperborean reaches.
And then you — your skin grey like a seal, matching your eyes, a lantern jaw jutting out like a promontory, unyielding.

Who brought me this far?
Providence cannot explain
Winter’s existence
