A drip of white paint

A drip of white paint
appears like a wine bottle
and makes me thirsty

Morris 1998 Durif

Deep crimson colour
disguises rich green flavour
like vine leaf-wrapped fruit

It's Christmas morning

It's Christmas morning
and a sleep-in would be nice
but I can hear mice

My new bathroom door

My new bathroom door
smells like pine as I walk in
to the sun-filled room

Drove over a bird

Drove over a bird
a little plume of feathers
rose as we both passed

Boys who will be boys

Boys who will be boys
can you please stop pretending
it's not an excuse

When you draw the perfect bath

When you draw the perfect bath
searing heat gives way
to sighing relief

The landscape turns white

The landscape turns white
with cotton from passing trucks
on the road to mill

Just after waking

Just after waking
the sky was pink with sunrise
then it turned to grey

Opportunity

Opportunity
to exit during small tasks
day dream in routine

The wind this morning

The wind this morning
is steeped with citrus blossoms
and a hint of rain

The breeze stirs rye grass

A breeze stirs rye grass
the seed heads swirl like water
and suffocate me

Water over road



Water over road
nearly over the bridge too
flooded Widgelli

It is a marvel

It is a marvel
how birds dive under a car
while crossing a road

Tannin from wattle

Tannin from wattle
discolours the rain puddles
Seems spilled tea remains

Full moon glows this morn

Full moon glows this morn
a light that shines through clouds as
rooster crows false dawn

Following a whim



Following a whim
can lead to unexpected
and pleasing results

A pinch and a punch

A pinch and a punch
for the first day of the month
and "no returns" too

Fight patriarchy

"Fight patriarchy,"
she said while stepping outside
as I washed dishes.
