Melbourne Poems

Victoria, do your duty, Along with me'

Do we all hear the rumour? A funeral draws near.' A spectacle is intended I think that much
Is real clear.' There will be black gloves and the
Muffled drums, that measured tread..Somber
Theater spun.' Staged to draw compassion from those (who might come?) The cornet may sound? Majestic..But I think we all know
What's the come..'
That vic-pols funeral

Melbourne

A pathway along the river
leads to where its waters widen
into the bay, an armada of small boats 
tug on mooring lines and beyond,
rising up out of a reflected sky,
the city sends golden spires
high into the evening air.

It's more than just a place, a city
compounded of asphalt, concrete
and plate glass, parklands with trees
from countries overseas that

Priorities

Our queen rules another realm, I believe,
From here to Eternity, we grieve,
Melbourne, Victoria, has its priorities,
We'll have a four-day weekend, you see,
Pomp of royalty, footy final at the MCG,
Massacre by Geelong, possibility,
Pies might be in it to win it, tee hee,
Showtime next week as well, I say,
Yes, we commemorate the lot this way,
One long public

Die Laughing

The White House has COVID-19
As face masks were never routine
Red hat or red tie
He'll laugh while you die
Our death toll is clearly obscene*

*Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, just 
celebrated 0 infections 0 deaths by 
following pandemic practices instead 
of Trump's Ouija Board predictions

Melbourne

Coronavirus Down Under
Was caused by a major blunder
A kangaroo court
Supported cavort
Spreading the virus asunder

Move To the Mainland

Disembarkment hearkened a largely unknown universe 
Melbourne's sky lifting grid hidden partially
Behind rows of giraffe laughing palm trees

He dinged his car in the line to leave the car park
Home now to brazen 20 year olds, brought both cars
Had booked accommodation in suburb 5 miles north

She was staggered by intensity of Tuesday morning city
Swarming people made

Melbourne Cup Day

Yes, it's the racing carnival,
Fashionistas so topical,
Significance trivial,
Lovely fillies,
Eye candy,
Drunk and silly,
Studs in suits,
Looking beaut,
Glitterati,
Haves and wannabes,
For the paparazzi,
Doyens of the racing industry,
You all look fabulous,
Gambling magnanimous,
Thoroughbreds' gloss,
Media hype and dross,
Great racing day,
Booze, bets and babes,
Stuff the plebs today,
Our public holiday,
Melbourne Cup Day!

Another Night In Melbourne

It's raining again
The sky it cracks with thunder
Yet so relaxing

Melbourne

I circle inside you
Through your cold centre
Warmed by what others 
Have left in you.
How conservatively wild you are.
How stark and polite.
You caress secrets so tenderly,
Saved for the seeking masses.
I watch as a kaleidescope of colours, 
Dance to my feet here,
And whisper from higher spaces.
You have opened yourself to me,
And I delight in you.
Full of smells,
I

Don'T Need Daylight In Melbourne

You don't need daylight in the city

you feel more connected

to the bigger picture

(how big is yours?)

somehow that makes sense

somewhere in my head

yours too I presume

not that you need daylight

anywhere for that matter

just ask the blind

(not the one on the window)

 we ate Italian in hardware lane

and Korean in the Chinese precinct

though precinct is a strange
