Poem Category: Miscellaneous

Midnight swim
in the dunes between beer bottles
our summer clothes.

Thai remains
on the throw away plates
cheap motel.

Solitaire card games
next door’s daughters
all home safe tonight.

Railway cafe’
the ordered breakfast
shaped to fit all.

A flash storm
no where for both of us
but Laurel’s umbrella.

Bay tide ebbs
just the usual pelicans
sifting near the shore.

Train window
the way the single mother
keeps biting her nails.

A tiger moth settles
the green
of the black cat’s eyes.

Rain forest
an unfamiliar axe thud
a Gum flutters.

Empty school yard
just the rubbish-bin calls
that the crows let out.
