Thistles Bloom Again Din nou flori de spin

summer junicho by Barbara A Taylor and Vasile Moldovan

no news

from the mountaintop…

spiraling smoke

a python slithers

into this hazy sunset

lonely

in the Milky Way

an aeroplane

flying

into arms of love

power outage

mother nursing

in the darkness

only oil lamps

glimmer in the mist

pushing

through dank leaves

phosphorescent fungi

Indian summer

some thistles bloom again

the smell of turf

and a slivered moon

through broken glass

rumour has it that

the spring is coming

overpowering

the scent of wattles

in country lanes

two lines of swallows

on the telegraph wires
