Poem Category: Australian

before opening,
my pen pal’s pink mail
in her daughter’s words

meditation
paused
phone call

lover’s settee
trying it on
in the salesroom

puppies playing
over the long grass
magnolias’ soft falls

thick home-made breads
with her jams
by grandma

oats and winter hugs
the warmth around
grandma’s breakfast

her pony tail
more bouncy
at the gym

no mistakes here
me and work clothes
in the swimming pool

blind kitten
searching for Mum’s dug
then milking it

minutes to
Davy Jones’ locker
the horizon Sun
