Cicada

Cicada
Roger Smith  March 2012
Let me hear to nightjay once more
its song over Queenstown
above the rush of the MRT

not the english chirp
of a carniverous sparrow
devouring the last cicada of summer

Roger Smith. 2012

In The Deepest Pools

Pool
Roger Smith 2012

In the deepest pools
lie the greatest reflections
Koi rising towards the light
a flash of gold amongst the reeds
