1/09/09
refusing the lift
down the trail
first day of spring
7/9/09
ravens
become black plastic
blowing in branches
silver lining
betrays moon
betrays cloud
10/9/09
café table
empty cup
time wasting
11/9/09
early walk
wind forces hands
into my jumper
park bench
forcing
haiku
pushing through
the forest
spring!
just now
my hangover left
grass of sunlight
12/09/09
finally warmer
outside than in-
bugs fill the house
after so long
one…then another!
lyrebirds by the trail
13.09.09
insect touch pause touch
from the page
to my hand
murmurs and bumps
above for company
wrist watch ticks
25.09.09
watching the mountains
waiting… everything
nothing
telling my wife
salt makes the lake pink
not knowing
amongst the stones
where the stream was
river reds
buckets in the shower
and wilting when it leaves
spring rain
through the water
flooding the paddock
only juncus
unseen and silent
where the clouds are
mountains from yesterday
wind ramp
cold mountain
me
5/8/09
staying to read
the walls
uni toilet
day of dread
morning sun
in the kitchen
tickling the windchime
to make it sing
still night
boarding house
full of fights
full moon
11/8/09
feathers rising
falling
rear vision mirror
15/8/09
sea lapping
the night pier
silent fishermen
cold watching
late leaves stay
oaks in wind
moonlit balcony
hammock shadow
swaying
smoking
white beard
yellowing
22/8/09
willy willy
of plum blossoms
suburb driving
sipping coffee
wind whips up
white caps
purple flowering
underbrush
butcher birds fight
27/8/09
empty tray
where the pizza was
pedro hiding
light slowly
crosses the stream
the wallaby leaves
wind sends
the forest flailing
ocean sound
fire reveals
the old berry farm
corrugated forest
clanging not singing
on the night balcony
wind chimes
getting the lip balm
left on the table
panties from the guestroom
creeping into bed
she wakes
she sighs
below the curtain
hiding the stars
half on his mat
bay before night
waves lap lone footsteps
behind us
pancalac creek
waiting for waves
to open the inlet
cold and still
construction tape shivers
betray the breeze
mad bright world
in the roof tonight
- down lights
stilled on the path
so tall so young
these mountain ash
life
in the snap trap
leaving…
dancing above
stand-still traffic
the exhaust cap
sleeping house-
water in whisky
by the heater
toppling tree
upon tree upon tree
wind upon messmate
someone?
leaves landing
on the driveway
collecting wood-
pink ranges turn
purple behind me
still trees
before stars
possums growl out…
1.07.09
light slowly
crosses the stream
the wallaby leaves
wind sends
the forest flailing
ocean sound
13.07.09
fire reveals
the old berry farm
corrugated forest
behind frogs
and forest whispers
traffic’s roar
bushwalk with her
wanting to leap
into ironbark fissures
27/3/2009
longing for sea
walking through
forest
in silence
and solitude on the hill
waiting…
black fields splashed green autumn rain
reading late
chamomile warm
on my fingers
cold peak
lonely and waiting
.. somewhere
balanced on the arm
at nights end
empty tea cup
sun through stream
trout feed beneath
the bubble run
mercy by the wood pile
rabbit with broken leg
with broken neck
6/4/09
farting runs
into diohrea
…smoothly
briefly
through heavy cloud
into my heart
11/4/09
peak through clouds:
her knee above
bubbles
forest reverie
into ironbark forrows
evening breeze murmurs
26/4/09
dew covered leaves
to wash my face
breakfast waits
28/4/09
forest at dawn -
burying a shit
like a person
30/4/09
by the stream
wishing these stretches
were yoga
