sun-blaze
a hand on head
salutes

from the rabbit hole
burrowing through barricades
an indweller’s path

sandcastles
casting weight on littoral
puny pillars

long view
pining through the forest
inside out

night music
jamming to the 'wakeshift'
stridulations

vox populi croaks
through my staycation window
green revolution
