Poem Category: Australian

Today’s outing …
at the duck pond
the old girl and her bread.

Ghost town
deeper each year
the earth pollinates.

Winter storm
after jogging home
to lentil soups.

The kangaroo’s stare
moon bright …
mine too looking back.

Skeleton tree …
suddenly piercing
the crow’s caw.

Between stones
hands making a cup
of the cool stream.

Ocean sunset
stepping from wave to wave
a summer breeze.

Into a great gloom
the rain forest swallowing
our bicycle lights.

Eucalypt forest
the sound of the wind
reshaping itself.

Confessional
the sound from some priest
forbidding my sins.
