a wee ship set sail
o’er the rough waves to Bass Strait
like coins in a jar
the angry sea longs for lives
no lighthouse to calm their nerves
Tag: poetry
Umbra
within the umbra
a no one becomes someone
ungodly spells move
fear leaves your decrepit soul
embracing capitalism
Coffee Time
a falling sunbeam
across the computer screen
cappuccino time
Sunday
remnants of plunger coffee
the washing and dryer blues
empty pegs on the clothesline
the moments of reflection
a longing for the rain clouds
this land cries out in the drought
burnt by the sun in winter
a fleeting glimpse of freedom
the sun makes way for the frost
Another Day
under the full moon
not wanting to say goodbye
on that final day
doing deals with the divine
soul sale for another day
Fashion
the esteemed image
coat hanger runway models
skin is the new cool
the reality
a vision in a spud sack
thongs flip-pity flap
Nudibranch
illuminated
lost in a watery space
a lil Nudibranch
Big Law
the pristine keyboards
Everything has a price tag
rows of offices
people of import
Obviously, there is tea
proper posh tweed suits
type six-minute increments
focused on the clock
No time for the love of life
word-wise predators
dark humour in the corners
Destroying young lives
My Selkie
in the land of boys
I was a wild mountain cat
a taste for rabbits
the loch was my tap
thick forest became a bed
then her sea call came
o’er the green mountains
small to some, yet large to me
carried by her call
her call a music
my Selkie longs for a kiss
returning to man
Best Friend
a brown bear dying
uncomfortable knowledge
within those soft eyes
two lifeless lovers
fur paws touching in the snow
for the love of one
movement from below
a whimper to the heavens
meeting my best friend
