Wet Leaves on Bluestone

The Autumnal Winds
Dying leaves on the Bluestone
Rain soaks the city
Walking between waterlogged
slippery leaves and my thoughts

double the glasses won’t help
The trendy workplace
Frustrate the fuck out of me
Shit goes flying in my mind

The last of the trees
endorsed by a rubber stamp
No cares for the rain
dust and a worsening drought
Children playing politics

the flame reflection
caught by your grey almond eyes
emotions waiver
the candle flame catches your heart

My overcast hair
a shock in a youthful world
Clutching the kettle
Melbourians stare at me
An invisible kettle

robed, wigged, and omnipresent
Winning arguments
The reality of law
a blessing to mediate

no favour with the kitchen
The chef is busy
loud garrulous explosions
Entreat me with little treats

Golden flecks of light
between the light and shadow
Finding love for me
The stars surpass their beauty
As the clouds move to the sea
