late walk
beach and moon
the same curve

back from the war
the tap he couldn't fix
still dripping

Red dawn
the fisherman's hands
gutting the mullet

dust storm
the red kelpie
blending in

flight of an osprey
shapes the evening light

explosions of fireworks
how constant the stars
Margaret Manson
retirement-
an op-shop dummy
wears my suit

Wind in the park
picnic plates frisbee
to other blankets

The traveller's shadow-
He marches on

day after Christmas-
all the fathers returning
their children

my long-johns on the line
still jogging
