NOVEMBER 1996
Strong wind through the park
in the calmest of places
leaves shudder ~ fall
Philip Keogh
gone green
the copper nameplate
on a leafless tree
LeRoy Gorman
an autumn walk
from the smell of toast
to where crows bark
George Marsh
blue heron
on a fence post ~
flood water rising
Nasira Alma
In damp smelly clothes
Swearing blind at passing cars
Somebody's father
Sean O'Connor
Wasp in my beer ~ now
that you are dead I return
you to the garden
Cricket in my bedroom ~
is that my heart ticking away
in the night?
Evening sunset ~
dandelion seeds tumbling
over fresh cut fields
Bill Wyatt
birds sing
just birds,
singing
George Marsh
The thief
having fingered my Buddha
settled for cold cash
