Poem Category: Miscellaneous

Dog chain
the taste of his biscuit
a tongue away.

Empty platform
following the express trains
the morning’s paper.

Family court
a pooling in the child’s eyes
being brave.

Rain forest
an unfamiliar axe thud
a Gum flutters.

between sips
the taste of old rains
from the stone well.

grandma’s window
grandfather’s peach tree
in fruit again.

train window
the child’s face pressed
to her breath again.

express train
the newspapers following
fall quiet.

Windmill in the sun
deep water spilling
cool to my hands.

Summer mornings
quaffing mashed iced mangoes
from a tall green glass.
