Long Lindsay Poems

Flirt with Whitney
Flirt with fear 
Life is good
But I rather be anywhere but here
Body aches from pushing out tears
Driving on the road of life
Eyes is watery
So I can't steer 
And I'm getting dizzy 
Stomach very...

"Barefoot in the Bushfires of the Vanities"



Heat rises slowly to rapture flames licking and teasing

“Ten Years, Somewhere in their Lost Neighbourhood”

Of course,
he said, like a god,
there is no course,
one must simply go with the flow
the penumbra stands waivering its existence,
a kind of deactivation, fuzzy borderline hanging,

America
I´m here to bring you
What you don´t need
Another heartfelt poem
Another heartsick plea
Worth less than
Chewed gum

With a bag full of
Sour wine
And a shopping list
Of grievances
America wake up
It´s me and I...

"CATAPULT"



fire from 
the Hell 
within

fuelling 
the drowned soul

strength comes
from travelling 
to Hell 

battling 
black 
hearts

all the unseen
murderers of dreams 
in their...

When I get tired of the concrete and tar
there’s a place I can go, and not travel far,
that hasn’t been touched by progress at all;
nature stands still beneath gums growing tall.

Of western New South Wales where it rarely ever rains,

Where bleaching bones remind you of...
