I’ve added a small page to the blog collecting the pieces set along the Brisbane River.

If you’re local, you might recognise a few places.

New poem: "The Ferry and the Tree"

'The river spreads its hands; the sky grows,

its blueness distinct behind

ephemeral clouds, sun bright and hard,

heat soaking into everything, the humidity

alive.'

It's a tough life, but I try not to complain.

I revisited a local spot of great sadness recently and took notes. Twice. I now have one good line and a resonant metaphor that I don't know what to do with. I'm unsure whether that place haunts me or if it's actually the other way around.

Its the first ive heard of them but they seem cool. Fun fact: I taught myself how to make A5 booklets because they were out of print. Theres a couple in the foto. I will definitely do that in future

The river is the colour of tea,

made with the slightest dash

of milk: silt-clouded.

Poem: 'A Tiny Deity'

In the mind, splinters—

remembered glances, words;

small, piercing betrayals;

have lodged, are lodgers—

little hooks; they refuse to leave.

Well in that case you might be interested in the rest of the poem. It seems to resonate with your sentiment. Cheers!
