sea sound

the gentle shushing

wave against the shore

my world contracts

and I

cocooned in salty silence

slide

into the sand

little mother

sitting

in a green chair

the little mother

marks time

in half hours

beneath the hollow tree

the scent

of tamarinds and honey

step gently

through the shade

the bees hum

a harvest song.

tiny bird

its presence

fills the room

cockatiel

January 15, 2009 by Mary

awake too early

shuffling through the kitchen

I startle a half moon

peeking through the skylight
