Poem Category: Australian

One willow
sweeping the river
of its reflection.

Catching a lift
from the wheat field’s heat
a wedge-tail eagle.

City fog
office girls
coming through the park.

Migrating south
between our boats , between our joys
more whales this year.

Platform heat
the winds of summer
and express trains.

Crow caws
deepening
the city’s fog.

Foaming
around the bend
river boulders.

One tyre
cracks the full moon …
a frozen puddle.

First thaw
not the same brook crossing
as this morning.

Almost dodging
a shadow’s leap
from the foot bridge.
