Sunset Park

Rainbow ice cream in Peace park

Sharing a seat that cradles our bicycles

Tops of Torrindurup hazing diffusely into the sunset


Drips race my concentration

Staining my fingertips psychedelic paddle pop. The road trains doppler whiz past

Intermittently ongoing peristalsis of space displacing town from water

Separated from its history, nature, and beauty


Seagulls fly backwards, arcing against their unwelcome trajectory

Kangaroo paws wave and wobble

The desert calls me, the unknown beckons

The known recedes into itineraries and forms


Potentiality knocks upon my minds chrysalis

Reality crests, a feathering wave

Aching to launch

lift off
