Mike Gallagher

roaming freely

in the lane’s red clover

bees and butterflies

—Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

six crocodiles

a thousand years

among the reeds


Mike Gallagher

struggling

up the hill

stragglers

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

tall yarns

the storyteller speaks

beyond the beyond

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

romping lambs

unaware of the closeness

of rosemary

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

more distant

lighthouse beams dancing

on the waves

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

hanging about

time stretching ever longer

the jury out

Mike Gallagher

roadkill

patiently waiting

a buzzard

Mike Gallagher

by the docks

the scattered shadows

of night

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

gnomes

frost-blanched

boots

Mike Gallagher

a butterfly

its shadow disappearing

into shade


Mike Gallagher

the lioness

a mother sensing

danger


Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

beech canopy

the raindrops loud

on his hat

Mike Gallagher

the fragrance

of a moonflower trumpets

a wren's night song

Mike Gallagher

rolling downhill

the peaty breath

of the mountain

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

a scream

the dim moon bringing life

to darkness

Mike Gallagher

that day

when the world changed forever

what I was doing

Mike Gallagher

drunken melee

several cases of assault

brewing

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

lovers

loving the intimacy

of shadows

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

eyelashes

butterfly wings

aflutter

Mike Gallagher

*

rustling

in september breeze

drier leaves

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

longing for

more tangible company

the romance reader

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

her touch

the softness

of flowers

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

summer long

wishing the pangs of love

might end

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

the farmer scolds

each scowling cloud

harvest sky

Mike Gallagher

*
 

seeking out

no particular star

daydreamer

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

timeless

the sundial awaiting

the sun

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

spring vase

dry leaves unfolding

butterfly wings


Mike Gallagher

*

 

dawn light

peering through mist

dim stars

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

shamelessly

on power lines

sparrows

Mike Gallagher

 

*

 

winding river

a sluggish snake slithers

along the bank

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

two seagulls

flapping into the calm

before the storm

Mike Gallagher

*

 

full moon

a long shadow

for company

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher

two crows

homeward bound

two nuns
