rain turns toward the dark south
the sun’s propellor whirs
my feet stare up from
the depths of a puddle
today they are
an unbearable anchor

Don’t forget, if you are in Melbourne (or the surrounding area) come along to La Mama Theatre tonight for Alphabet Soup featuring Myron Lysenko, Laura Jean McKay, this Lost Shark and Julie Beveridge, who will be launching home{sic} in this fine city. No better way to warm up on a Winter Monday! Doors at 7:30pm, readings from 8:00pm.

A rainy day poem that reminds me of our winter here in SoCal…I am willing to wait.
