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

Voyeur

The humble bumblebee
Is fascinated with me
Common sparrow
Stands watch roof peak

Windows empty
Stare down on me
Reflecting sunset
Mirroring eyes

Unknown creatures
Crawl on shoulder sleeve
Listening to incessant
Whispering on breeze

Eight legged arachnids
Move house with me
Settling in
Exploring walls, hallways

Pleasantly content
With new digs
Inhabiting new territory
Small wonders feast eyes

A house of ten feet
Drifting in a daze
Holiday makers
Anywhere we please

To call home

Southern Cross

To bear
Not to blame
Open the gates
Running away
Pointing star
Toward the void
Seemingly endless
Space between us
In the silence
Flag flying
Falls and furls
To the ground
Fences down
She crosses over
Settlers land
Like she always did
On Bruny Island
Feet tread lightly
Lately leaders
Learn to follow
Across fallow fields
On her heels
Cotton wool covering
Envelopes the sky
Carpeted canopy
Of green lay over
Caress of waves lap
At the edges
This is her land
Forever
