Stopping me
photographing the lorikeets
an Emperor moth’s arrival.

Foaming
her Friday nights soaked
into bath shampoos.

Sprinkled ashes
out on the next wave
his wreath.

Christmas alone
turning carols
on the radio off.

Shooting star
I uncork an old shiraz
to let it first breathe.

Strawberries
melting
Laurel’s tongue.

White water rapids
unable to delay
the urges in salmon.

Kindergarten
she makes any crayon
her coloured sky.

Buzzing
with chain saws
the rain forest splits.

Burning hotel
smoke on the water
too tall for the sky.
