Summer 2005

za prvim krikom
hitaju galebovi
u nebo

for first cream
make hasted the seagulls
into the sky

Jadran Zalokar
Croatia

clear sky
split in two –
cracked windshield

the watch has stopped --
waiting for
my blind date

mother reading
nursery rhymes--
the cat purrs

empty chair --
Blossoming branches
dance in the window, unnoticed.

distant party noise--
my business card
on the walkway

southern winds--
the dryer
clanks

a patch of sunlight on the wall –
the child reaches
to grab it.

jaywalker --
her face hidden
under a green umbrella

glistening pond,
A drowning bee rushes toward
a melting mud clod

summer apogee
a butterfly jayflies
a searing street
