she asks me to take her there
but she doesn't know the name
or the place

30113

wheat plains
and sky
beige blue

29113

on wheat fields
outbreaks
of green

28113

shadow navigation
a subtle
unconscious movement

27112

their quiet talk
over take away coffee
on the police station steps

26112

the calm
emotional silence
of pharmacy

25113

skin
and a consensual acceptance
of breath

24113

the sky
indifferent
to the city

23113

cinema into day
a prediction
of rain

22113

a community of layers
we walk
the depth of centre

21113

a theoretical underpinning
the room
decays

20113

ballistic
a flight
by hand

19113

still light horizon
the blood pulse beat
an indirect confession

18113

warm night
cold
on my feet

17113

butterfly ink
a reflection
of swing

16113

she leaves
on my back
a heat map

15113

words fall
the tone of her hands
a custom

14113

the bounce
of a private need
repeated

13113

12113

beneath blue horizon
bushfire haze
(the way) she swims

11113

pleasure centre
aisle three
mobile

10113

highway floats
an epic soundwave
torchsong

9113

8113

in the shade of a grey fence
a timid tortoise shell
cat on a leash

7113

a slow curl
the smoke in his mouth
a withdrawal of days

6113

her head
on his shoulder
a grey cardigan

5113

pale blonde
in summer white dress
and blood red fingernails

4113

her naked body
enough saliva
for one

3113

waits for wellness
or otherwise
with tears of boredom

1113

morning after the year before
awoken
by crows

311212

i pass here often
but tonight i see
and remember

301212

red rose
petal to lips
white towel over quake

291212

the last song
he lifts her
off the floor

281212

all-day drizzle
i walk with hat
in hand

271212

fingers to his mouth
indicates
a cigarette

261212

rain on the wall
she never
replied

251212

balls and ten pins
his hands about
her bare waist

241212

231212

221212

211212

alarmists
argue over
lost things

201212

leaving
a drink coaster
on the wall

191212

her speech cuts
as she dismembers
photos of them

181212

a pause in the program /
our walk-in window /
blue with memories /
- #haiku #senryu #poetry

171212

unaware of his focus
her ride
begins the day

161212

naked warm

I recall why 

I can't give blood

squints at the embers
of the 11th digit
and her face asks why

over 10 years ago /
science gave Uncle Frank /
a misplaced full stop /

a love song
whistles a tune
on her wettest organ

21212

a dearth of stars
a white silence
seers the night

11212 - 4 Kathleen -

301112

the weightless mass of love
i wake
her pillows cold

291112

an arm around me
we wake
dripping with sweat 

281112

at work
quiet homes

271112

when the lights are out cool nights
discussed

261112

busy train station
sparrows tweet

251112

his portly business shirts
tailored
in Bali

241112

between concrete walls
my stains
her only wrinkles

231112

places i never went
the main street
a campus

221112

if i was asleep
i wouldn't feel
so lonely

21112+

from the lounge room
a glimpse
of her double bed

211112

grey with heat
a flash of blue
wrens darts over wild grass

201112

small white pills hold my tears

191112

naked on a bed
she speaks of a past life
as a naughty nun

181112+

rain heavy with thunder
eases to drizzle
bird calls return

181112

i wake to sleep

171112

your eyes
an archive
of lust

161112

voluptuous abundance
a sunset recipe
for a contract generation

151112

unsleepable
i learn to stay

141112

my gold ring
a double yellow line

131112

the sky
alone
with cloudless blue

121112

a repetition of steps
through yesterday's rain
now dry

111112

distant rain
i stand
in wet sun

101112

in denial
she watches
Judge Judy

91112

found a photo of you
smiling
until you your face filled the screen

81112

desolate beach
even the seagulls
have walked away

71112

she and her discuss
how they helped their men grow
to separation

61112

she pushes my face away
for her fingers
and mine

51212

squints at the embers /
of the 11th digit /
and her face asks why /
- #haiku #senryu #poetry

51112

the world at a bus stop
a long white skirt
twirls to a dance step

41112

after clouds pass

a brief shower

31112

silent sun
a glass door
looking in 

21112

a metre of poets
notes are taken
