the rock was immoveable
a gull on its peak
small meaningless
to Geology
in these states Laura always
felt she was the bird waiting
her mind overturned
by the large and solid
but like the rock
she was happily transfixed
between two other women
always amazed
in awe
underestimating her role

the beauty of bare
trees
is written in their
loneliness
a winter sun through
branches
or the grey solid sky
dense
and unforgiving only
shows
delineated strength
untill
leaves dress
again
those sleeping limbs

Blue day
how the blue day evolved
was a secret to them both
swimming in December
so close to Christmas Day
Laura was left with Kazu
drinking coffee in a café
while they both spent ten
minutes swimming around
each other more than close
they spoke Italian
wading
back towards the beach

Perfect
she had loved them
they drew her like a magnet
if of the right structure
shape straight and women
owned them
there was the sculptured
the sharp and the retrousse
aquiline
she wasn't exactly sure
what type Laura's was
but to Kazu it was perfect

Sometimes rocks were far more interesting than others; this one an obvious erratic caught my eye, I imagined it being lifted in some distant ice age, carried on a flow under great pressure, its several tons being left when ice retreated, surroundings alien to a previous, a native existence.

here is the soft light
and cloud
a perfect love poem
not the streaming
dark cloud presaging
a novel's murder
plot mystery
where
we wait for revelation
and the unpicked
surprise
this was a day though
not suited to summer
when a day's candle
burns down
and gutters
unlike a bulb
