Tripwires and Flares

I dreamed my way
through your tripwires and flares
an avalanche of fog and psychedelia

I've no need to hunt down love
and you neither

Paper Boats on the Flow

You can build a stream
grey water channel
paper boats on the flow
iron bars and sand bags
or colourless water, choppy

Kitchen

8 goldfinch tap on the window
'Thank you for thawing the pond'
I don't notice the squirrel
eating all the bird food

They've opened the sluice gate
at the far end of the lake
–geese paddle, scrape their bellies –
to shift out the silt
