Summer

summer dawn –
the path of cowries
beyond the sea

summer dream
counting the butterflies
in neighbor’s garden

piercing the    
breeze, my chute lifts –
summer beach

summer twilight . . .
the bee-eater stirring
tall grass

summer sunset –
changing colour of
rising waves

summer's end . . .
the waterfall thunders into
my laughter

last day of summer
bouncing, the pool ball
of her eyes

summer ends
the wallah takes down
the raincoat array
