pink notes

thanks to Cunningham we can cross. we can drive
through what must have been almost impossible
to trek, on horseback or on foot. we can move
into an unknown west, heading through clouds
with homemade sandwiches, a thermos and a map

in his yard at every chance. is he working to prove
or disprove luck? hard work made asset rich and not
just another Asian immigrant. from the house behind,
can i say how much pleasure i have, watching his
beautiful garden grow on the Deep Bay waterfront

pink notes

the wireless internet drops, the journey's
pulse is smaller with a night light
and a book, we're snug and spooned, and
sex is rocked, arched, in a small bed
where bodies find no better place to hide



4
a mountain doesn't wake beneath each
varied sky, and, though, the rocky mounds
shape lips, today, Sleeping Beauty lies
unmoved by myth, or image, that
rocks are somehow kissing clouds

pink notes



1
touch this end of the sun, a glance on fern shaped
weeds beside roadway bends, fuchsia tops sprout
from gravel, clay dust and the highway's sealed grey
bloom turns rainbow blurs of light, i camera,
these engines moving faster than dark



2
barefoot in Cygnet, wait in the car, keep the window
down so the smoke drifts out, "why do i talk so loud"
says one as they laugh, on the footpath, beautiful
cheeks flushed, it's so un avant garde this art,
wears beanies and scarves and youth

changes

I have been moving over the last week. And for the next two weeks, will be on a road trip of sorts with Ray. Southern Tasmania will be our end (new ) destination.

We were wanting to make this move for some time and both feel really good to be in the middle of it all now. We've sold our house in Queensland. This aspect is just starting to sink in.

My email has changed because I have no landline and for some reason, probably, I will need to attend to changing things on the blog. In lieu of fixing and fussing with it during the journey, I'll just post my new email here: lawaller{at}hotmail{dot}com

If you can't make comments, just drop me a line. I'll try to post something when I can.
Wish me/us luck...

one thousand more





I have been dipping into things slowly, clearing my head for other things, learning to notice...









...the fumbling edges of idle moments.

one thousand petals to toss






It's a good time to come back for a little while.
Did you miss me while I was gone? Found so much on.
Small details load don't they? I've kept up with favourite
blogs, just not my own. A wordless offering by way of...

flow chart sopranos

geodesic angles/cache of goods
flaw personality on talent
rising in water
failed sacks words

air bubbles flow as if
in errant purpose
speak rivals stay
concrete feet steady

stay down
sing these bad stains
ill-fated and sweet
orchestrations

mulga

for Michael Sharkey

sage prof he said
more should get out into

it’s not about where
once you’ve been
places rate
heading back
notice years, that thing
only, just, not scenery
where the thing is set
rubbing my head off
burn notebooks
finger another lift
ash wind, scatter it
it comes back
