Poem Category: Australian

Lingering
under the waterfall
a brace of lovers.

Strange fruit in the mango tree
the dog guards
the cat’s escape.

Remaining leaves
the old oak more gold
in the setting sun.

peeling an orange
the tears his jealousy
sprays

from home
to a lover’s touch
your car beside mine

my smart phone
when wet and naked
stops

within the hailstones
dents
on another pond

leaving
the morning shower
cold

private
I steam open her letter
in an unknown hand

out of pain
he views the surgery
from above
