A Small Sound

A silence

to things

for what’s

to be said

with for,

and if,

in October,

it is still

green?

Miss Cedars

A bird and three days

of royal grey rain.

Opaque labelled sky.

Mount Fuji in fugue.

Hushed white pearls

posing in marzipan.

Merciless drugstore:

a patented cure.

Dalmatian coastline.

Good-bye sweet grievance.

Thinly disguised.
