Blackcurrant gives way

Blackcurrant gives way
to plummier tasting notes
when properly stored

Lawnmowing

Fuel fumes, job well done
Green smell with stained white footwear
Vibrating hands

Planting a seedling

Planting a seedling
earth fragrant with chocolate
reminds me of love

Walking in the park

Walking in the park
My footsteps grow uneven
I've stepped in dog shit

A visit to Valla Beach

Evolving landscape
of rock and sand and ocean
brings daily surprise



Stories of seaside
lines like topographic maps
sediment stanzas



Ancient medium
shown miniature to scale
my alien home

Red gum roost at dusk

Red gum roost at dusk
Galah couples approach first
Noisy kids follow

I love satellites

I love satellites
Today I dodged two downpours
commuting by bike

Droplets on the wing

Droplets on the wing
like the goosebumps on my arms
as turbulence rocks

Riding into fog

Riding into fog
palm tree silhouette ahead
looks like pineapple

Swimming under waves

Swimming under waves
Foam clouds darken above me
Rays of light appear

Carport roof rattles

Carport roof rattles
as though rain lands upon it
Rain of locust feet

In the dentist's chair

In the dentist's chair
my head full of chirps and squeals
like a modem's song

Hill Indigo blooms

Hill Indigo blooms
with a pop and a scatter
nature's moneyshot

In workplace vacuums

In workplace vacuums
talent grows to fill the void
or all morale shrinks

Forbidden fruit

Without knowing why
Like a girl from school I teased
Swoon with frisson

Fog

Early morning fog
cut by straight lines of shadow
on my walk to work

Downpour

A cloudburst of rain
like the thundering of hands
showering applause

Frigid speaker amps

Frigid speaker amps -
they are last to be turned on
and the first turned off

A young snake at dusk
like water running uphill
fleeing from my bike

The Bassling sound

Lower frequencies
and snappy beats to spell out
an entrancing groove
