Before the Flood (part vii)

It is worth asking — home, are you coming home? The water — not you, not I — has returned to its banks, no longer quick enough to take a body. A brackish heart is fickle, come on, you can make it. Let me … Continue reading →

Before the Flood (part vi)

Where the river has receded the land is bare — the heart that is between goodbye and hello-bright-thing is brackish. There is no sweet taste here to remember you by, no warmth to crawl into.

Before the Flood (part iii)

You were in the kitchen, baking. In the distance, too far away to hear, the river appeared, coursing through the fabric of trees, down the middle of a country road. Turning to your daughter, you leaned over, burnt caramel on … Continue reading →

Australian Poetry & Song

So it’s Australia Day… I am not one for all the nationalistic flag waving that seems to have taken a stronghold in our culture these days, in fact, I find it downright frightening. I do, however, often celebrate the greatness of … Continue reading →

Before the Flood

I learned about rivers by falling into, exploring, the depth of you. There is rain coming: town, country, city, seashore are at risk. Seagulls are everywhere, in the heart, in the heat of night. There is rain coming and I … Continue reading →
