About aperture

Living on the island state of Tasmania, Australia. Narrating life through poetry and photography.

Ten leg caravan

As far as the eye could see
Described the horizon
Shifting and changing
With oppressive heat

Cadence of the caravan
Riding handsomely
Toward everything
Past edge of known land

Frontier called
Like battlefield before

Rarely a woman seen
Except one who walked
Where no one went
With followers in tow

Not out of bravery
Passion or daring
Just because only place
Left to go

Eve

Won't you meet me
On New Year's Eve
At Nine O'Clock
At the compass rose

Tell me things
About your past
Lead me to wherever
You're going

Take us away
From place of Princes
Down the green
To the waters edge

Where sun and moon
Both kiss the water
As they rise
To greet you
Battery Point, lutruwita / Tasmania

Satellite of love

Gold-plated crafted
By the finest dreams
Of our generation
A mission of a lifetime
A decade, years unknown
When completed
Could it become
Another star in the sky
Revolving around the sun?
Discovering new things
About worlds beyond
A job that is never done
Twisting and turning
Ignoring nature's revolution
A revelation in the eyes
Of one
