Closer than we know
Describing our true nature
Contemplate the stars

Haiku: ‘Change in the Season’
Changing atmosphere
Brisker more meaningful walks
Death begets new life

Snatch
A consumed moon’s meagre light;
I pause, mourning this grey life.
Let me look at you —
ear lobes like pearls from tissue,
the emollient pallor of your royal flesh.
My finger probes your lips
as an owl hoots its presence:
I imagine your soul,
the skulls of saints

Haiku: ‘Abundance’
So we are mere dust
And to dust we all return
Contemplate the weeds

Haiku: ‘Feeling Feline’
Once young and alert
Outside, where you loved to be
Now inside with me
