Thaw (extract)

Grey growler lurches forth

Past soft edged solid road

And low light snow surfaces

As disconsolate trees breathe…..

Dreary sledges in long night mist dim straight abreast

As white town turns

And leading magpies blankly glide;

Eternal ice flow drips and grey grime skids -

As this grey dawn starts to thaw.

10722 virgin

snow white emulsion

painted on virgin plaster -

gives egg shell finish

gorgeous future (haiku 10327)

galanthus over

snow buds fade in green divide

for gorgeous future
