the wooden mermaid
gazes out to sea —
St. Brigid’s Day

* * *

full rainbow browing over Ireland’s Eye

* * *

she sees a camel
in the grass-topped sea stack
he sees a horse

* * *

an airplane flies west
nosing into the red
of the rainbow

* * *

light shower —
a female stonechat
crosses our path

* * *

yellow furze in bloom
back down the hill
hot whiskies on the beach
