afternoon stillness
a dragonfly touching
circles in the pond

swallowing
an iron pill —
autumn melancholy

log fire
the landlord’s
reindeer nose

passing headlights
snow gathers on
the horse’s back

crocuses bloom
the old woman on the bench
swings her feet

the bonfire embers
smoulder on to sundown
honking geese

the empty barrel
still smells of apples . . .
November snow

evening snowstorm . . .
a tinful
of unsharpened pencils

two crows
into a headwind
skittering leaves

old dog gets up
just to lie back down
end of winter
