MARCH 1999
look, cat,
your new neighbours moving in:
they have a dog!
Gilles Fabre
Broken man
all day long
splitting oak
Desolation -
grateful
for my wife's boot prints
Ken Jones
Leafless tree
in the fold of a hill
leans into sunset
From a bare cupboard
a few noodles, the north wind
a little warmer
Jim Norton
show me,
skinny bird in the nippy wind,
how to face winter
Gilles Fabre
Winter fog
over the river
moving with it
Maeve O'Sullivan
Through the bus window
I opened to hail a friend
this year's first snow
Gilles Fabre
Dismasted pines
their riven branches
point in all directions
Ken Jones
gulls on a beached trawler
all but one
turned to the sea
this street cat
I sometimes feed:
in his mouth a baby bird
Gilles Fabre
