Poem Category: All

The wind is all winter
no gulls huddled
along the stinging sands.

Kindergarten gate
a heart cries
a heart dies.

Below sound
but the bull-ants have found
the fallen fledgling.

Rainbow lorikeets leave
the sugar-gum breeze…
a feather floats.

White with moon
the lowing cattle
wet with rain.

River rafting
in and out of the white foam
to the other side.

Playful !! maybe not
in and out of the pond’s reeds
dragonflies.

Bubbling the bridge’s
shady river
brown polished stones.

Carbuncle in the soil
the coming… the going…
of the bull-ant mound.
