swaying hips
to the mesmerizing strains ~
steelband concert /gc

a creaking sound in the night — /vs
cicadas thrill the forest /gc

crossed branches
groan in the strong wind —
crescent moon /vs

Renhai Reflections: Silent Visit

Silent Visit
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (Solo)

Leaned-out wall —
a poplar sapling peeks through
the window opening.

The top of a wooded hill —
abandoned farm buildings.

"1956"
marked into the stucco —
caved-in roof.

Renhai Reflections: Under

Under
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (Solo)

One, two butterflies
flit blossom to blossom —
Rain forest.

Canopy of lilac blooms —
between bites, a sip of tea.

The sound of rain
on the umbrella, drops
form on the edge.

Renhai Reflections: Advancing Further

Advancing Further
A Renhai by Gillena Cox (gc) & Vaughn Seward (vs)

clinched waistline
of the bachacs busy at
moving small sticks /gc

under a shady tree, benches — /gc
the bride's veil lifts in the breeze /vs

voices ring out,
a banner lifted high:
"Higher Wages!" /vs
