Toes

watching
the emptiness
between toes

Old Bones

cold wind at sunset
biting deep into old bones
six ravens playing

Guttering Candles

your dark lover comes
black cold midnight, chiming
guttering candles hiss

Bleeding Tree

initials carved
lovingly, carefully
tree bleeds, raven whispers

March and April Art.

Healthy Habits – hair removal

“Permanent hair removal
under arms….
three times – ninety nine dollars”

(A sign in Melbourne – if not a haiku – it oughta be)

(And later the same day.)

Healthy Habits cafe
drinking too sweet coffee
rolling a cigarette

Weight

on my noisy street

tyres whisper on wet tarmac

restless, urgent voices

cold rain running off the roof

chill wind beats against my door

Red Gulls

two red gulls drifting

brown leaves fall into shadows

a cool breeze kicks up

Crimson Bottle-brush

¥
dancing in the hot north wind

deep crimson flowers

children, jump for purest joy
¥

Sloe Gin

a load of cheap gin

soft birdsong and low whispers

in the fading light
