Intersection

vanishing from the centre

the glitter of shattered glass.

Art class

a lace curtain blowing

around their nude.

Pretty tot

with nothing but chocolate

to shape her mouth.

Shopping with mum

dragged behind the tot

her naughty doll.

Shoe shine man

another sneeze held

with his polishing cloth.

Ocean road highway

stretched to the horizon

the long scent of summer.

Footpath coffees

our sponge cakes coming

past a rubbish bin.

Solitaire card games…

next door‘s daughters

all home safe tonight.

Puppet

sitting up in his trunk

where the show-girls are.

Grandmother talking softly

her tea-pot‘s coloured

old and knitted cosy.
