linen and lace

bobbin pricked blood 
threads through bunched lace
filigrees the naked throat
weavers sweat
damps the weft and warp
covers memory of shame

FIFO

Again

I see , unmoved

your boots.

Each one filled with

wind and nests of leaves.

Captured in webs

anchored to the step

empty days frayed stitches.

Death by loneliness

a slow process

kiss me out of my misery soon.

eclipsed

three or thereabouts
dreams cast to jetsam
 the night a blood tide
seeped over the moon's face
heart stopped
like that
sudden
rain clouds washed all away
left nothing between my ribs

june rain
plink plonks in the drain pipe
honkey tonk

haruspex

two crows
divine
intestines
roadside

june - days of rain
when the sun cracks clouds
a bird tumble bathes in gum tips

untitled

seven empty chairs    companions
wind turns my page
inside the radio
talks to itself

in the garden

black shapes
swoop
the fence line
blood
feathers
torn skull -
baby eating season
