the sweat on my brow -
a brisk wall after
it rained

torrential rains -
in the absence of bird songs
thunder peals

the night sky thunders/yelping dogs/reply

yesterday's rain--
a prolific blossom fall
today's crepe jasmins

sunset -
trees recede into
silhouettes.

how futile!
to try to count the furls
of these rose petals

bees have returned
to the ixoras -
a June morning

white bougainvillea
reach out onto the sidewalk -
chance meeting old friends

feet queued
toward the pool-
summer camp

a slight drizzle
truck load of chairs offloaded--
'we beat' festival
