Pavement stained by mould
Stinging rain drops from slate skies
"Off to class in ten?"
(21st Century Tumbleweeds)
Warm dirty winds blow
Plastic bags through scorched bush-lands
Modern tumbleweeds
(Old Red Converse)
Old red converse left
Standing empty on cracked tiles
Painting of progress
(Cannibalism)
To eat one's own feet
Infinite ouroboros?
Cannibalism
Skipping Class I wrote for a uni assessment piece in semester two of 2016.
21st Century Tumbleweeds I wrote after a walk I took one day in 2017, on which I saw a plastic bag tumbling through some old scorched out bush-lands by my house.
Old Red Converse I wrote in early 2018; an ekphrastic poem of sorts stemming from a piece of art my partner drew.
Cannibalism I wrote on the first of April, 2018; again an ekphrastic poem, questioning the meaning behind a painting I saw on a trip to the Queensland Art Gallery.
