else

They spoke of the rain,

Everything else, too painful-

The sunset lovers.

rain

Afternoon storm,
A man with an overcoat-
The birds wearing rain. 

thieves

Empty saucers-
Small thieves
These finches. 

home

Between trees
Where spiders
Call home.

air

cone

Autumn moonlight-
Is that an owl
Or a pine cone?

Anzac

The war dead call us-
These fields overgrown
With empty beer cans.

Easter

Me, and a wallaby
Watching the chickens-
Easter sunday.

buttercups

Midnight dew
Rinsing 
The buttercups.

dew

Autumn dew-
Sleeping on wet bed-
The kangaroo.

since

Slicing breakfast-
Wearing passionfruit fingers
Since morning!

long

Going on a long trip-

How to say goodbye

To the magpies?

coffin

An old bucket-
Plastic coffin 
For pair of lizards.

pink

A pink umbrella

With legs

All the way to school.

owl

In my headlights,
Illumination-
A white owl. 

pyramid

The avocados-
Stacked in a pyramid
For days now.

laugh

Try not to forget-
The first time we heard a
Kookaburra laugh.

Kites!

mood

Even bad mood

Watches twilight clouds-

Blue carnival!

empty

Tsunami victim-
At first I was sad,
Now I was empty.

metal

Stomping 
On the metal roof-
An autumn rain

Old

No reverence for
Corner cemetery- 
Old spider web.

wounds

Joy of forgetting
The childhood wounds-
Here comes the new moon!

sorrow

Planting irises

Between hibiscus

And sorrow.

laugh

Tonight, a thin moon
Comes to laugh
In the woods.

gladden

Which news show
Can gladden my heart
This evening?

screen

The autumn wind-

A moth gives birth

On a screen door.

Drunk

Slipping on the grass-
Even the magpies
Drunk with autumn rain.

way

Teetotaling poet-
No wine, no women-
Just the milky way.

birth

Drain pipe
Gives birth to palm tree-
Say the green frogs

sing

Only small birds know
That rainy mornings
Really sing.

stars

Poking head from window-
Almost banged it 
On the stars.
