night in the country,
startled by the sound of
white silence
after bell ringing evening
lying next to the full moon

flowers bloom
even under a summer storm
petals unfolding
What have you done to my heart,
shuttered to the brightest sun?

Tonight the Thames
carves a translucent jade bowl
of a July rose moon;
many moons past -- since you and I,
shared wine from the same cup

in sweltering heat
dew-drops of sweat on my brow
planting snowflakes
(Snowflakes, garden plant: Gypsophila Paniculata)

stiffling morning heat
last night's thunder nothing but
--an unkept promise
once, you went to fetch the moon
and like the rain, didn't return.
