Poem Category: All

Damp with cold

our noses touching

another new year

Polishing an opal

its light from a thousand eyes

pressed by violent earth

A quiet read

warmer when the log splinters

near night‘s end

Neighbour‘s mantelpiece

amazed by the youth

in their photographs

Screen door

his bark at the letters

falling inside

Putting the dog out…

stopped by her howl

into the stars

Hallway wind

a sudden slap

from father‘s portrait

The moon

the frost crackles

in a puddle of ice

Buzzing

with chain saws

the rain forest splits

Beauty parlour

the sound of the nail file

shaping her past
