warm breeze
through the window
a fly on each side

mindful stone - 24 Jan 2014

waiting for crumbs
a one legged pigeon
leans into the wind

clear blue sky

more prominent than the sun

the noon day moon

birds 

mindful stone - 19 Jan 2014

the full moon
its glow suppressed
by the greedy clouds

mindful stone - 18 Jan 2014

sheltered from wind,
a branch twitches
with playful sparrows

mindful stone - 17 Jan 2014

walking down
the broken escalator
feeling
for the next
                  

                   step

sign on the window
of a closed print shop:
"shop for lease"

I stand beside it,
reading from 
a smartphone

this New Year

A cold wind,
he wears a t-shirt,
shorts,
sunglasses,
determined –
to enjoy the summer

mindful stone - 8 Jan 2014

the young thrush
pokes it head through my back door,
showing no fear,
yet I fear for its innocence,
the innocence of nature

mindful stone - 7 Jan 2014

hanging washing out
with eyes on the clouds
to avoid
another rinse cycle

mindful stone - 6 Jan 2014

a break in the rain
the peaceful chirp of birds -
constant drone of lawnmowers

mindful stone - 5 Jan 2014

one man
one fly
one room
one summer night –

zzzzzz –BUZZZZZZ – zzz – BUZZZZZZ – BUZZZZZZ – BUZZZZZZ

mindful stone - 4 Jan 2014

no children’s laughter
on the street,
no birds on high branches –
no mountains today

mindful stone - 3 Jan 2014

new moon –
the powerful wind
travels unseen

mindful stone - 2 Jan 2014

gail force winds,
the loudest noise
still -
a dripping tap

mindful stone - 1 Jan 2014

New Year’s Day
a thrush stares at me
quizzically
