Lost In Mesopotamia

The cacophony of birds
sounded like
the babble of Babylon
no terror
better describes
the faces of Babel
than Edvard Munch's
The Scream.

Drifting Apart

Give and take
barbs
then retreat
to wounded silence
licking our lacerations
before picking up
where we left off
with the razor wires.

Stories These Doilies Could Tell

Nearly everything ends up
in a flea market
much loved treasures
end in a new home
someone's loss
is someone's gain
my parents like
will never come again.

Ship of Dreams

This elaborate fantasy
built cloud by cloud
into a cumulus
to transport us
in a state of ecstasy
to eternal bliss
the big ship of dreams
mugged by reality
a thunderstorm
of epic proportions
and the deluge
to claim us.

The Eureka Stockade

The Bard stopped at Footscray
on the road to Ballarat
he was researching The Eureka Stockade
not Romeo and Juliet
he imagined the miners
manning the barricades
police bullets flying
hoisting The Southern Cross
and dying.

Today and Tomorrow

The morning light
of the new dawn
cracking through the blinds
gives me great hope
for today and tomorrow.

That's How It Is

An involuntary enter
an involuntary exit
a shaky beginning
an uncertain end
life and death
entwined
by beginning, by ending.

The Muster

Weaving through
the gum trees
the ghosts
of aboriginal stockmen
cut through
the dust
and years.

Sad

Something
to hang
my hat on
but the square peg
in the round hole
leaves the peg
and my poems
trampled
on the ground.

Life

Reduced
to a comedy
staged for mirth.
