Sekhmet Figurine
A figurine of Sekhmet sits upright by my desk. Her shadow is shaped like a cat.
(I started to write a small stone but it grew into
this longer poem
. Then I came back here and wrote a different small stone.)

Walking and Looking
Sunday afternoon
this quiet street
is lined with cars
a long shadow
crosses my photograph:
me
I point my camera
the ibis in the playground
vanish from the picture
coming up the hill
the gladdies are out
in all the gardens
red gladioli
weigh down their stems
late afternoon
the shadow
of the hoop pine
crosses the path
ahead of me

Coexistence
Shrill birds
make a flurry in the trees.
My cat,
ignoring them,
sprawls in the sun
washing her paw.
