Ensnared – a vine, full
Fruit lay like a prayer mat
My wail; a birdsong.

Subtle Clarity
I, looking for you,
Reflected in a pond find
A smile, floating.
Image by Léon Bonnat (1833–1922) titled Roman Girl at a Fountain (1875)
Marked by Nature
Where it goes I follow
My mind’s rooted here
In the shadow of sunrise;
When it moves, I move.
(c) A Hannan
Painting a Home
Home, carved with soft legs,
Tangled, roots of these old trees
Merge and meld, as one.

The Fall
Him, guiding my hand
To a candle-point burning
And falling, to love.
Learning to Weave
Syllables of love
His tongue tangled to my thighs
– this, pattern we weave.
Preparing Tomorrow
Opening inward,
Mortar and pestle, crushing,
Petals and seeds, sob.
