two by the river
a hero ready to fight
something creeps closer
distracted by the pussy
the hero’s hamartia

To Heel
The puddle splashing
She loves to jump for the leaves
a jovial soul
As the years passed, she slowed down
The urge to Heel warmed my heart
Snow in Australia
the deep Winter day
hanging frost from the window
a single snowflake
falls where we never see snow
a picture of snow falling
Spring can Wait
the stillness of frost
between the night and morning
ice on the windscreen
in the north, they find summer
the winter comes; spring can wait
The Bass Strait
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
Umbra
within the umbra
a no one becomes someone
ungodly spells move
fear leaves your decrepit soul
embracing capitalism
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
For Cats
a frosted windscreen
toxic thoughts are lingering
playing memories
the coffee cups are calling
this world is made for the cats
Anglerfish
swimming in the dark
a sweet, petite Anglerfish
thinking about life
longing for a friendly face
listlessly waiting for hugs
Bee | Nectar
Honey Bee Buzzing
Hanging around like a rose
High on her nectar
Immunity to her sting
Irresistible temptress
