Freewheeling – Haiku Sequence

by JANICE BOSTOK

unable to see
my neighbour’s house
I sense her light

surface of the pond rises to meet each drop of rain

stationary bus
talking we visit places
within each other

the tree felled days after birds circle the emptiness

pregnant again…
the fluttering of moths
against the window

in flight black cockatoos shriek circles with him

seabirds
freefalling
sky
to
fish

pink nose of the sugar glider bristled by our scent

along the cattle track
the comfortable
rubbing tree
