Wander woman

Feeling strong again
Climbing mountains
Blazing saddles
Heading back again

Trappers snowbound
Head for the hills
Luscious pelts
Grey smoke feel

Tidbits in brine
Pipe sipped
Port by the fire
Boots steaming dry

Only come in
To stay the night
Weather's feral
All right

These'll fetch
A pretty penny
In a patchwork town
Friday night

Seaside Daisy's
Walking in
Round 'bout half past ten
Never fear, she'll be here

To fill the boots
Of men

Home is

A fragile shell
Exuding warmth
Breathing bodies
Wrapping wool
With love

A beating heart
Releasing beats
Pulsing life
Animate limbs
With joy

A shared presence
Sending thoughts
Creating ease
Illustrate life
With peace

A willing friend
Meeting smiles
Sharing trials
Accepting unseen
With me
Coal River Valley, Tasmania

All dressed up

Where can I go
To follow
In your footsteps?

To wander
In your stead

All dressed up
To go nowhere
In particular

Lucid dreaming
Takes me somewhere
Far off

Still the sky
Covers us all
Until nightfall
We deconstruct

Consuming warmth
To stay our idleness
To stoke the fire
Inside and out

To tell you
How much
Is enough
With Love
