this love is silent
enveloped in worrying
as hope teases hope

as he arises
the moon is slowly fading
i wait in my room

stepping from the car
hearth smells permeate my nose
in cold autumn air

admiring the bird
that amazing little heart
the size of a pea

flushed redness rising
sweat stained sheets tell the story
fertility's fall

message from afar

hanging from my car mirror

circles of love dance

temperature falling

ugg boots & dressing gowns rule

dry season arrives

tentacle moon beams
imitating the muscle
of a cramping womb

as cows wander by
i wonder do they wither
and have hot flushes

teenagers have announced
that they need a true mother
not a false mother

the first autumn leaf
transcends from flame to dryness
completing the mulch

abandoned wrapper - as fleeting as the flavour - flying down the street

i found it empty
discarded under the tree
the silent birds nest

hard laugh echoing
into every little crack
spider walks outdoors
