hurling white surf

This time last year,
together ascending
the Tama River.

Maple leaves aglow -
woodsmoke and
rushing water.

Russet, yellow, brown
and green leaves -
burnishing the mountains.

Leap-frogging lily pads,
leafy stepping stones

Automated moonlight
dapples the dark sea,
beneath its white beam.

A brush of light,
sweeping across
the windowpane.

Retired lighthouse keeper
– counting the pips,
after ‘Sailing By.’

Waiting, waiting for this tide

Mercury rapidly soaring -
asphalt regressing into
lava-like liquefaction.

Urban flyovers rising
high overhead, roasting
concrete shade below.

Glass walls so arid and smooth,
sun climbing by degrees
- a city sweltering.
