Poem Category: All

Distant thunder
hailstones still melting
from the sparrow’s nest.

Southern Aurora
the ship’s cat
stepping more lightly.

Ape bellows
his mate steps from the bushes
suckling their babe.

A warm barn
out of the sudden storm
onto her straw breasts.

Girls picking tea
their rustling saris
silky as their songs.

Damn binoculars
the race horse losing
in both lenses.

Road curb
the old man squints
before his dash.

In today’s picked flowers
a thorn
has found my blood.

First light
the Gum trees measuring
one inch- two inch- three inch four.

Barn doors
squeezing daggers
of moonlight.
