Pulling the Girl From the Shell

Solidarity wish:
in the cricket night
behind porch and screen
under gum black clouds
in a storm over me
the banana breeze
on the mirror lake
in a midnight thought
that I just can't shake
and around the bend
with a crunch of steps
your shadow's shape
in the moon's confess
and I seldom know
what I seldom hear
this attempt at synergy
as you draw near
in the cricket night
with my kerosene lit
weight of catalyst storm
hanging from my hips
as you break the night
as the insects still
solidarity wish
is against my will~
