Selected Work
 
mackerel sky
the fishing boat tugs  
at its mooring
 
leaden sky 
the broodmare’s feed bin
heavy with rain
 
 
 
moonless night
depths of darkness 
lapping the pier
 
winter sunset
a spill of merlot
on the bench
 
 
 
bleak morning
her footprints  
filled with rain
 
winter moon
alone in a churchyard 
of stone angels
