Poem Category: Australian

The beach roasts
a blonde passing
drips sea on my skin.

Turning the corner
first warmth of spring
along the hallway.

The same direction
eagle wings
in the sound of the wind.

Sunlit hills
the hawk and shadow
squeeze their prey together.

Campfire
eye to eye
the tears of Gum leaf smoke.

Mountain view
one winding road
has left the valley.

Brushing the ferns
how the rainbows linger
over the waterfall.

shaking his bread crusts
back and forth
the school-yard magpie.

garden shed
showers darkening
the see-through rusts.

the old house creaks
the fire-side spits
I turn another page.
