                  1.

     Faltering Encounter.



The moment that you opened the door
Your smile

(A fragile dance of light)

Tripped up the darkness
And laid it flat

Knocking me out in the process


                   *


No longer a stranger
And recovered from the sudden blow

I noticed that you dared not look at me
When I entered

But your smile was deftly reflected
In the verve of your body

The chirrup of your girlish voice

The tilt of your elegant neck
As you flounced down the hall

         Japanese Garden.


     It is enough
 that a single word
is spoken beautifully


        Rock



Tree



       Water



Girl



       Silence



     It is enough
That someone listens

     Autumn in the Park


      Mist on eyelashes
      Fine frost of tears
       When we kissed

         The Parting.


  Whispering goodbye
  Now we are strangers

  Black hair disordered
  Eyes deep in shade

  The dawn wind stirring
  Tugging your sleeve
