Poem Category: Miscellaneous

The river forks
going along with the moon
to the sea.

On holidays
a storm in the schoolyard
assembling bins.

Office party
two cocktails melting
in an empty room.

Front verandah
counted disappearing
the trees into dusk.

Country road
between skeletons of Pines
the winter puddles.

Prison walls
the silence given
to falling snow.

Boy’s butterfly kite
with nothing to snare it
but a summer cloud.

Mangrove mud
letting the tide return
in small sun flashes.

Endless giggles
her kitten chasing
the wall’s torchlight.

So headstrong
gunning into the life of a Pine
the wood pecker.
