a new moon
cradles the old -
my lover snores
qy
a derelict
on the park bench–
no stars
jb
winter sunrise
mist spills
from the tin roof
nb
breakwater
a single figure
against the wind
qy
wooden trough
the horse's snort clears
a patch of water
jb
estuary
the day moon wobbles
in outgoing tide
jb
rat droppings
in the bird feeder—
rusty gate
nb
awake at dawn -
a currawong’s shadow
on my bed
qy
midday lull
a loop of tree-snake
slips from the branch
nb
|
spring morning
a chained dog
settles in the dust
qy
sudden downpour
a butterfly shares
my umbrella
nb
distant thunder
the cicada throbs
in my hand
nb
church bells –
waking to the taste
of metal
qy
spring growth
a woman on her knees
in the cemetery
jb
day moon—
she brushes an eyelash
from her child's cheek
nb
winter sunshine
high tide pushing
on the bridge
jb
dusk –
a white horse holds
the sunlight
qy
lingering sunset
the mosquito coil
drops its ash
