I burn coloured lights
Shining into our darkness
Workers wending home

"Coughing" tanka

When I start coughing
I remind myself sternly 
Stay away from chillies

Self isolate from the stove
When hot chillies hit hot oil

As though a huge giant hand
Has polished our seas

Today a pigeon
The first bird in my backyard
Since before Christmas

The world emerges
Battleship grey and silver
Ready for the fray
