Ogle

After the afternoon shift have departed
The serious bathers set up shop

Books
With sufficient words
To last
The all of summer

Enough bare skin to captivate
The most discerning of lookers on

Marinha

Scents of the sea
Sun soaked and shaded respite
Symphonies of waves, lovers at play
A nation, in conversation, within itself

Noise

Rework
Old sores poured over
Pavements lined with leaves
Perhaps the laburnum family

I kick my feet
On the surface of the pool
Create waved reflections
Of the open blue sky

Ever to have such certainty
That the angle grinder
Would surely have to grind
That as workmen, we work

Sound Sea

As if the sound of Cadmium Red
Amid the drone of Shostakovich
Would improve the reflection

Set to Landscape

On this line, plunge into cold water
Roll back the excesses of yesterday
Be refreshed by a word; zest. Pen
Pressed against the ultra fine paper
Pathways through art & love & you
Tokens prescribed beneath the pines
In the hold of the breeze. In the hold
Of a need for a slight definite distance
As if the footsteps on the sands are the
Only waves that can break our hearts
