Barefoot In the Bushfires of the Vanities
"Barefoot in the Bushfires of the Vanities"
Heat rises slowly to rapture flames licking and teasing
Blue Ghostgums to stretch and crack wide open
as Fire spreads molten sweet sap bleeding burgundy all over
amber gold wild bush...

Barking Up the Wrong Tree
“Barking Up the Wrong Tree”
ghost gums
shed their bark
the min-min

papyrus, soft enough to
imprint and write
thoughts, like the
ripening welts of
green ants
small bites sting
subcutaneous and

The Hummingbird Cake
"The Hummingbird Cake"
The day started bright -
Bright Eggshell Blue
and ended in percussion
dark and cloudy stormed in
thunder pummelled drums
against a backdrop of
bruised eggshell dijon yellow
sweating heavy sage green
spitting spoilt the swollen pride of purple,

I walked into the Ocean today
the Wind was wild whipping up the waves

I tread water, the Aquamarine was a washing machine

Dusk On the Murray River
A crimson red blanket hangs over the river, shrouding its steep muddy banks.
This is dusk on the Murray River, the Mississippi of this great land.

So Stand the Fallen
Very soon marmosets and moose
will get their vaccines.
A lone gnome fishes in a Koi pond.
The light of the moon
has been dimmed by a Chinese switch.
Elite bands of cockatoos
fight for free speech, but just for themselves.

Paradoxically, Wrong Time
we only wanted to be kids
not heroes.
we wanted to catch ships of clouds at the sky
not black seadevils in the drain.
we wanted lemons for lemonade
not salt for our wounds.
but there it came
the dramatic change of...

Somewhere Exotic
The pungence of heartbreak swelters
in the tangled dreadlocks of love-lies-bleeding
Take me somewhere exotic
to breathe not the foul aroma
of disappointment and despair
Show me fields laced with frangipani and orchids
in colors sweet and light as daydreams
Find me...

In the Corridors of Fantasy
Walking through doors
to a strange land,
the corridors ahead
spread out like hands
I went to the left
and found the dark,
creeping around
some foreign part
Retracing my steps
I went back to the light,
thinking which way
to get out of...

Rude Awakening
Am sure it was a competition
To see who could wake the humans
The cockatoos started the show
With their flamboyant flight
And ruckus callings
joined by the mad galahs
Their screeching an radical swerving
The crow just looked on

Ashes
Charred wood and ash
stink, after fires
in Garigal high-country.
A single crow cries
road-side, on a black tree-post
guarding road kill –
a round brown wallaby
with feet stuck-up.
Ash covers ash:
grey dust lies still...
until rain drizzles sweet liquid,
wets dirt, licks...

punctuated by white

of cockatoos, galahs and magpies

My Dear Old Cockatoo
My dear old cockatoo
You know that I love you.
You with your sulfur crest,
You by far are the best.
Your pure white, soft feathers
Tell me of endeavors
You braved the howling wind
And found your way across
The Pacific ocean.

Way Down Under
Oh, so bluest the sky doth shine
A hint of the new season’s ploy,
Sweet November a springtime shrine
Grains of golden sands of pure joy.
Towards December’s hottest sun
Where the dust is stirred to a tune,
And winter waifs...

For far shires beyond the western red sun
I’m leaving the Land of the Long White Cloud -

Trading in my black singlet...

Walking past the traffic lights
I’m walking past the traffic lights when I see a running knight,
He was running from a giant with an almighty height.
As I walked further I saw something fluttering in the wind,...
