Poem Category: Miscellaneous

dairy drought
milkweed sap
suckling the wind.

pottery kiln
the cracked vase
showing my mistake.

bridge night
the weight of my partner’s
losing score.

Hunting for green fly
the salmon slide silently
shaped by the water.

Midday breeze
passing a stand of sunflowers
I smile and nod back.

Leaving the butterfly
to fumble in the web
Sunday walk.

Office party
the little sound of a slap
sweeping around.

Village hall
first night dampens
the girl’s violin.

Park bench
waiting for the Emperor moth
to leave first.

Currawongs call
in the meadow dew
the birth and rise of mushrooms.
