Paper cranes
Gently enfolding
Delicate hands
Miniature worlds
Of make believe
Passed on
Poignantly
To look upon
Proudly placed
Between one another
With love

Wait and see
What the day brings
Good as new

Spoonfuls
Lashings
Dollops
Cup overflows

Just a few hours
With you

Full moon
If it fades or hides
Past sight of land
Obscured by grey cloud
Wishing to be held
In wonderment
Then filled with liquid light
Every day
Polus Antarcticus, 1639. Allport Museum Collection, State Library of Tasmania

Inspired by stage production The Old Man and the Old Moon.

When words fade
Into meaningless space
A torrent slipping
Abyss

Applause cut short
Silence pervades

Small delicate beauty
Takes their place

Pain relief
Sending signals
To live at ease
To smile and laugh
Be well pleased
Be oneself
Be free

Why would one
Deny such a cure
For all?

Third last day

If all the days
Nights and mornings
Stood in a line
Of highest to lowest
Cascade of time

Today
Third eye blind

Beside all those
That kicked me
To the curb
Barefoot
Undeserved

All except for
A moment somewhere
Someone wondered
Could I be
Loved?

All the things

Sense and sensitivity
Brave behaviours
Daily rituals
Humour and fragility

All the things
Love to love
Wrap up
Black band
Wounded heart
Bind in my hands
Soften edges
Massage
Hard places
Breathe warmth
Into mine
And yours
Girl with a hat, by Lily Allport. Artists of Tasmania.

Running out
Of time

To be
With you

Tapping ticking
Meditating
Archive presents
Nothing lost
All is sublime
Keeper
Between the teeth
Wheels turning
Small and wide
Resting in rhythms
That speak
For us

Melancholy 
Buoyed by day
Slipping into
Doldrums

Deliberating
Present filled
Future genie
Mementos gleaming

Particles of light
Fall upon me
Waking me
From a dream

With love

A lemon tree
Shape new branches
Think of me

She and I
Sit and stare
At the brightness

The weight lifts
Off our shoulders
Heart lightness

Sweetness overload
Wipes away smiles
All seriousness

Bitter afterbite
As it leaves
Tears salty dry

Giddy tequila
Hypnotised
Beg to taste

Every day
Lemon, Green and Blue patchwork
