Poem Category: Australian

at the restaurant
ignoring good-night
the small-tipped waitress

feathered morning lawn
I bring in
the house cat

a moonless torchlight
I spit out an oath
when the owl calls who

the red lights against
a police chase
almost upon us

my smart phone answers
then some guy saying
she is not at home

in cat naps
the afternoon winds
stir the redden leaves

foot falls
my sounds follow
walking on the moon

wild as an ocean
tickled after the storm
the dove nest still there

down from the attic
the school-band trumpet
in my son’s first notes

a thunder passed storm
the roos from the trees
covering the hill
