'scape, 1995, 4*, copper beech, grey, red, rooftops, sky, storm, trees, wind, windows

 

 

 

                                              stormy sky

                     through
                     the window
                     the top of the copper beech
                     before the red tiled roofs
                     blowing one half
                     then the other half
                     in the wind

'scape, 1987, 3*, air, evening, horsefly, rock, storm, windows

 

 

 

                                just

                as the rock rolled to a stop
                the horsefly landed on it

                in the evening
                waiting for the storm
                a puff of air came in
                through the window

                stormy sky

          blue water
          globules between
          bright yellow
                cornstalks
                and
          the factory

'scape, 1993, 4*, afternoon, books, cars, clouds, Hillside, portrait, rain, storm, streets, tea, windows

 

 

 

                           a mid-afternoon

                storm cloud
                is coming

                in my room
                a band of light across
                the back wall

                from
                beyond the
                cloud

                cleans the
                yellow paint

                and highlights
                the shelf of

                rearranged books

                on the street
                an ochre car

                passes

                a hand held
                out of the open window

                in the rain

                from the house
                opposite stands

                a woman drinking
                a hot mug of tea

                watching her brother
                jump-start

                his bike

 

 

 

————w(O)rmholes________________________________|—–

afternoon wormhole: still
books wormhole: hinted
cars wormhole: dream
clouds wormhole: ‘the sky …’
Hillside wormhole: a night of rum
rain wormhole: ‘typewriting by the …’
storm wormhole: ‘the sky …’
streets & windows wormhole: Thomas Street

'scape, 1995, 5*, clouds, green, peppermint, sky, storm, trees

 

 

 

                                                the sky
                                                low

                                                peppermint

                                                the lone
                                                tall

                                                elm

                                                the topmost branch
                                                finds the
                                                green cloud

                                                creamy
                                                pushed down, bent
                                                slightly so it

                                                twists round then
                                                back

                                                and round

                                                and round –

 

 

                                                ‘storm coming

clouds wormhole: hot summer morning
green wormhole: junk
sky wormhole: daybreak // midday
trees wormhole: 1969
