on the clue
of a hamster
a pilot's sin

on the slow
cobble of a post
a penguin cooks

a frame
closes round a pit
meow vapour

on a sacrifice
of hydrangeas
a turtle gloats

Possums on a wire
Or on a roof.
Wherever they transpire
They remain aloof
To what problems we
Inflate and accumulate

Possums on a wire
Or on a roof.
Little care for how we take fire
And hide the proof
Of what damages us
Until the day
We meet our fate —
Wherever it may be;
Possibly on a wire
Or on a roof.

At midnight I'd see a cat
Male or female I do not know
Though they're fluffy —
White as snow.

A pleasant approach with an embracing face
As the creatures eyes glow
Warmer than the ol' Moon up above
And shine so splendidly that I often forget
Both the time and place
In which we met.

How can a nameless feline like you
Make me ponder who I am?

on the boot
a tweed of snow
for the shark

There they lie on the floor of the house.
Stretched in the sun, lounging about.
Furry and killer, soft yet so mean.
Gone when you want them, here when you don't.

fountain curd
on the foot of a path
a cordial kangaroo

promise a floss
on a pelican token
emptiness pass day
