desert morning
a coyote licks ice
on the tumbleweed

gnarled banksias
entwined like old lovers
along the track…
how many years now
have we been together?
in the moment
a faceless clock
on the mantle
another spring still waiting for your voice
new dawn…
outed
in a tweet
headphones from one hemisphere to the next
goodwill
chained to the counter?
charity box
no prognosis
the daily reshuffling
of my destiny
