Tried to set a stage of love
The breeze blew pollen

In my rhododendron shrub
A breeze dries my shirts

Think of the fox too
Stealing chicken to survive
Snout full of feathers

Strewed silver on Birch trees
To benefit beauty

To shop for the sake of buying
Not for what you need

As the night thickens
And darkness tranquilises life
Dawn is welcomed.

A pale human swan,
Love poems and vitamin pills,
Sighs under eiderdown
