Poem Category: Miscellaneous

White water rapids
unable to delay
the urges in salmon.

Strawberries
melting
Laurel’s tongue.

Shooting star
I uncork an old shiraz
to let it first breathe.

Christmas alone
turning carols
on the radio off.

Sprinkled ashes
out on the next wave
his wreath.

Foaming
her Friday nights soaked
into bath shampoos.

Stopping me
photographing the lorikeets
an Emperor moth’s arrival.

Meeting old friends
our coffee-cup talk
in and out of shadows.

River walk
thrashing to the middle
the dog finds his stick.

Street worker
each shadow reaching
just where she walks.
