"Snapdragons and Dandy Lions (Part 1)"


“Don’t move,” she smiled gently,
“stay there, stop fidgeting, let me put these in your hair”,
I was sitting cross-legged 
on the lush green bluegrass lawn
it felt like 70’s Shagpile carpet, 
long and unshorn.

“I said, don’t move! There’s a Blue Tongue over there,
you’ll frighten it away, they don’t like to be scared.”
She was shielding her eyes surveying the yard
like a pirate on the high seas, 
a ship on the Ocean, 
while the Sprinkler 
kept raining a moving waterfall 
automatic motion 
here and there buzzing bees 
in the Kumquat Trees.
She was pointing to the boulder 
next to the Lychee Tree
close to where I was 
legs now unfolded
scrambling around on  my knees.
It was around 5 in the avo not morn
we’d been there covered in sunscreen 
for a coupla hours and
tired from the heat 
we were all stifling yawns
in the sweltering sub-tropical garden 
amongst her verdant jungle of flowers and ferns 
there amongst the strawberry patches, passionfruit, Lady Finger trees,
Pineapples, PawPaws, grapes, tomatoes,
and towers of fragrant sweet Jasmine, Lilac-mauve Wisteria
plunging Deep Velvety Red Bougainvillea, 
flirty Sweatpeas and
the pungent Pink Frangipani 
impregnating the air with it's fat-belied
perfume, the scent of which to this day
sends one into absolute delerium; then
came the whirring blood-suckers 
that bombed us in buzzing swarms 
never foiled no dignified treaty -
one was never forwarned,
that left itchy-bites and 
eventually weeping sores,
feeling sorry for ourselves 
the breeze carried our songs of retreat to which she’d 
impart, “Shush! Don’t carry on, 
everyone will hear you way out on the Street!”.

“They like your blue blood, that’s why!”, 
she explained in exasperation, kind of worried
spraying us with Stingose. 
“Tonight we’ll put up the nets and 
burn the Tiger Coils”.

"Possums on the Run - Part 3"


Collecting cut 
silver blue grass
carries garbage bags
green-ant bites, no siree,
this aint fun.
Stand guard, he’s the 
lawn mower Pope 
(she laughs)
on his ever vigilant run.

Look on him with sadness
Look on him with Love
“one less mouth to feed”,
she thinks,
“best to run run run”.

What could have been
lies under Palm, Pinaroo
buried under rain and Sun
never coming home…

He’s a roll your own man
sits on the back step 
watching the setting sun
dark indigo shooting star sparkles
gecko changing colour on the wall
Fruit Bat squeals 
hissing Bush Rat runs.

He’s thinking, “make 
the lawn safer
ruddy trapdoor spiders, 
poor piping hot water
down the holes
cover with dirt. 
That’ll kill 'em, 
stop the effers 
before they bite ‘n hurt.”
Takes a sip of hot black Tea
gets up to iron the school shirts.

Sunday becomes Monday
becomes Tuesday bleeds
into remaining days 
like Autumn leaves into 
Winter trees bare barren branches
of each week, this is his life
these days his ever dwindling 
seeds of memories.

What purpose day in day out
he is screaming on the inside
no where to voice it, no one to 
share his Black Dog bouts.
“Make sure the table’s set for breakfast
and all the doors are locked girl, 
before you turn the lights out”.

And you think, 
“Is this all there is?”
You look through the windows
outside into the dark
along the fence
possums are running,
You think, 
“Run Possums Run”.

Lynette, Linnet 
a small bird, goddess, idol 
ever golden burning Pheonix
on your shoulders
sings her fading song 
“lovely child please, 
never ever forget”

(Lovejoy-Burton/2018 Jan)


All 4 parts of "Possums on the Run" dedicated to an honourable man, an extremely courageous man, who served in both Royal Australian Army (first regiment into Vietnam) and Royal Australian Airforce, who lost his wife to cancer (32 yrs) and raised three girls on his own. This man was all about speaking his "TRUTH" and standing firm by what he believed in, my father V.C. (Peter) Burton.

We went to sleep for but a little while
 I met you in my dreams. 

You delivered to me 
all your stories
all throughout the little while 
all throughout the years. 




The Dilettante Diaries: “The Dream”

You watched me as I breathed
I placed your little hand onto my heart
as you closed your eyes you breathed
I watched you fall asleep
Remember what I whispered,
“My darling, I will never leave”

“Sometimes the ones we love the most 
stay, they walk with us in our dreams”

The Black Bears roam the mountain top
Just before Dawn, you hear the “Hooo”
The mating call Incessant : “ STOP!! “
Infects the mind, infecting : “ YOU “

My Black Soul travels  Everywhere
The Black Bears roam the mountain top
My Dreams : I am a Rogue Black Bear
“Hooo” “Hooo” “Hooo” ; I too, can not “STOP!! “

Hallucinogens : “ Quite a Crop “
Growing along the Forest floor
The Black Bears roam the mountain top
Eating Weeds off the Forest floor

Insanity,  Reality
Imagination : “Do not “STOP””
Wandering Through “ Eternity “
The Black Bears roam the mountain top

"In My Heart"



In my heart 
the dark and light
In my mind 
freedom rides

A glossary 
of worlds
where white prayer books
long shelved are recalcitrant doves

held in the palms
rosaries bleed a 
different meaning
when lips kiss beads

not real feeling
just words
repetitive, learn'ed
blow fish swimming

cajoling
knees kneeling
confessional
inward spun, reeling

In my heart
the dark and light
In my mind
freedom rides

I wait in the grace 
of fire
ignited by light 
from the past 

a funeral pyre
set sail 
cast away on tears
that make up 

The Ocean
each droplet 
a world
An Ode, divine devotion

salty diamonds are sinking like pearls
into the Deep 
wisdom to be found
hidden amongst 

more than all the grains of sand
in the Ocean
and all the stars
in the Sky

the heart of a mother
the mind of a girl
deep blue narcissus
reflections in your saltwater 

are pearls ;

In my heart 
the dark and light
in my mind 
freedom rides

I wait in the grace
of fire
ignited by light
from the past

In my heart
the dark and light
in my mind 
freedom rides

(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)
Georgia, MY daughter

with love, YOUR mother
with love, your grandmother, Lynette

"Road to Lovejoy - Piano for the Self Taught" (Part 2)


His name was
Flight Left-Tennant V.C.Burton,
or "Victor Charlie Bravo", when he
got pulled over by the cops, explaining
"a sherbert or two Lynette, but not on the rocks".
though he makes me spell it
off by heart
“Flight L.I.E.U.T.E.N.A.N.T”.
for spelling it right I get 
Lamingtons and a hot Cuppa sugary Tea.
Royal Australian Airforce 
(R.A.A.F.) - "R Double A, F"
his current stint,
“Mate! Airforce base with all the big Spitfires
and Jet Fighters, Amberley," 
then later after
 "THE" "Event" 
(quotation marks hushed reverent tone)...
he asks for posting up the Mountain 
7 Stores Depot, 
free reign of the "Mess"
where there he is the Commander's Adjutant,
his rank still Flight Left-Tennant...
I think they must be very messy there
and he cleans up all the mess.
"The Yanks say Loo-Tennant!”
he advised in his Sargent Major way -
his pride of course
were the medals
he wore from his Tour of Duty days...
First Regiment into Vietnam
Saigon based, Royal Australian Army
way back-in-the-day.
“We're HOME Nan”, he gently
carries me out of the car
up to bed 
from the rented
Airforce Base home's
driveway.
It's no tin shed, it's a flaming Fibro Mansion.
“I’ll get your sisters next, 
Cream Buns for Breakfast!
Tomorrow’s Sunday”.
It was Saturday night,
we’d been for a visit down 
the mountain to North East
near the Ocean that day
to lay flowers on 
HER grave. 
“We’ll do Bribie Island another day.
I’ll read you bloody Loose Arabs 3",
this delivered so so not P.C.,
"the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, 
tomorrow night. I’ve had enough
of the Nicene Creed for one day!”.

Piano for the Self Taught? Well,
that’s a story for another 
day, something that can’t be
bought. 
Priceless in it’s own way.

This is a story of 
Love, 
“Unconditional” -
the Lovejoy-Burton Way.


...to be continued.
