midday heat 
     the water song 
                 of magpies

morning chill ― a scorpion salutes the sun

outliving the town
the gravestones at Keilli 

limestone ruins 
seasoning the hillside 
pepper trees

eating twilight shadows in the koi pond 

two men argue 
                     about the burqa ban― 
she feeds the blackbirds
