Notes About The Poem

noosa

Noosa, the name of the town in Queensland, Australia, comes from the local Indigenous Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) word Noothera or Gnuthuru, which means a "shadowy destination",  a "shady place", or a "ghost". The sign says there is no other off-ramp from which to choose!

sedoka dead end

my destiny lies
in other destinations
with undefined intentions

circle has no end
all off-ramps lead to dead ends
from merry roundabout ride
