midday sun
glints of fire
in black opal

-Simon Hanson

visiting the aunts
greeting us first
the garden gnomes

-Simon Hanson

diamonds on black velvet the jeweler’s lamp

-Simon Hanson

venetian blinds
afternoon shadows
and a little jazz

-Simon Hanson

that dream again
luminous squid
rising from the deep

-Simon Hanson

all of us
eight billion heartbeats
every moment

-Simon Hanson

a line of Harleys
passers-by
in polished chrome

-Simon Hanson

wishing well
even the heavens tremor
to the touch of a petal

-Simon Hanson

child’s play
an aster to each eye
and such a smile

-Simon Hanson

neolithic night
a flicker of déjà vu
in bonfire flames

-Simon Hanson
