house
pegged clothes breathe back and forth,
snowy feathers shifting on a restless bird.
running water answered by the creak and groan
of the washing machine: the regular machinery
of contentment.

silk
a natural fabric, this weave has irregularities,
slubs and twists in the warp and weft.
all contribute to its beauty and character.

listen
inspired by the morning porch
flat white coffee, sugar.
slow drip of the tap, and the clock
patting uniform slices of time into place.
parrots banter back and forth, a measure
each of contention and celebration.

pieces
restless neighbours, restless dogs, restless night.
rooster cracks the edge of a new day. a pillow is no defence.
a black bird in a white gown,
long curved beak mining cracks in the sunburnt clay.
two avocado seedlings consider their prospects
from flower pots, newly transplanted.

rain
inspired by morning porch
Rain. Dense torrents and sudden intermissions. Wind rallies leaves and branches. Sleeping dogs—no scary thunder. A cool day dressed in wool.

soft
inspired by morning porch
white butterflies chase between the flowers. sunlight glows, gentle and warming. a spring day misplaced. the abundant green of plants feels like a benediction. parrots confer, magpies croon, honeyeaters skip between the branches. miraculous life.
