EMBERWICK

The night sky over the river, lamplight and
stars doubled on the moving water.

A wheat field holding the last amber of the day
beneath a rising night sky.

A street café glowing yellow against the blue hour,
rain still on the tables.

Violet irises studied in the last blue minutes
of the evening garden.

White blossom branches held against
a turquoise morning sky.

Masts and harbour lamps settling
on the low-tide water.
