A poem only ends when we decide to close our eyes; no page holds everything there ought to be if closed off minds will not engage.

The billabong has rippled long beneath your limbs, red father. You were young and slender when they walked hide-sheltered feet deaf across her back. I am new, old one and white as ghost gum dreaming. Sorry-specked and sunburnt, one foot ochre yearning, one far cloud seeking. Long time come, you thunder to me and rain-washed parrots build you with their wings. Blood, soil, summer sleep and rainbows: Dream us one. ... more Leanne Hanson Awaiting Sentence Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:53:33 GMT /section-657-awaiting-sentence#comments 15 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11965 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11965 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11965 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11964-dumb-show https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11964-dumb-show It only happens in the movies- a dying lover clasped upon expiry. I spoof it up - an actress dies on celluloid with such dramatic irony  to make it false, aloof; so if he must disclose her dying I can disbelieve the proof, I can carry on denying the picture reel in my head, its 2AM scene climactic, mounting to farewell whispers on the bed, surreal in his recounting. No, no - not really matter-of-fact as fantasy drama, unimaginable - Did he rehearse this final act, long expecting the inevitable? And when does the ending end? When he brushes aside her hair, re-folds her arms, descends the breathless, dream-like stair to falter lines down the telephone. Lights. Camera. Action - my outtake plays for years after they're gone - her hand in his - unreal, fake.   ... more u668857 The Personal Space of U668857 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 08:51:52 GMT /section-449-the-personal-space-of-u668857#comments 4 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11964 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11964 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11964 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11985-8 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11985-8 The day's firey vigor fades Down from something, then everything at once. Eyes lift upon a sky anxious and weary of night, Close within its somber... The road round and familiar curves out from under, Falls each weighted dream. Circling back To where everything, then nothing really matters. sinnaminsun 2009 sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun: 2009 Poems Sat, 03 Oct 2009 15:00:42 GMT /section-768-sinnaminsun-2009-poems#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11985 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11985 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11985 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11984-tatjana https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11984-tatjana Diaphanous Heliotrope Mercieca, Andrew MosquitoBytes Volume 07: Irradiated mDNA Retrovirus - 2006 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:35:46 GMT /section-709-mosquitobytes-volume-07-irradiated-mdna#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11984 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11984 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11984 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11983-nefertiti https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11983-nefertiti Diaphanous Heliotrope Mercieca, Andrew MosquitoBytes Volume 07: Irradiated mDNA Retrovirus - 2006 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:34:52 GMT /section-709-mosquitobytes-volume-07-irradiated-mdna#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11983 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11983 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11983 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11982-elvish-queen https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11982-elvish-queen Diaphanous Heliotrope Mercieca, Andrew MosquitoBytes Volume 07: Irradiated mDNA Retrovirus - 2006 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:32:43 GMT /section-709-mosquitobytes-volume-07-irradiated-mdna#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11982 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11982 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11982 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11981-imbibe https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11981-imbibe Diaphanous Heliotrope Mercieca, Andrew MosquitoBytes Volume 07: Irradiated mDNA Retrovirus - 2006 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:31:59 GMT /section-709-mosquitobytes-volume-07-irradiated-mdna#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11981 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11981 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11981 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11980-aria https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11980-aria Diaphanous Heliotrope Mercieca, Andrew MosquitoBytes Volume 07: Irradiated mDNA Retrovirus - 2006 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:31:03 GMT /section-709-mosquitobytes-volume-07-irradiated-mdna#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11980 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11980 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11980 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11979-cotton-candy https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11979-cotton-candy Diaphanous Heliotrope Mercieca, Andrew MosquitoBytes Volume 07: Irradiated mDNA Retrovirus - 2006 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:30:05 GMT /section-709-mosquitobytes-volume-07-irradiated-mdna#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11979 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11979 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11979 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11978-blessed-be https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11978-blessed-be Diaphanous Heliotrope Mercieca, Andrew MosquitoBytes Volume 07: Irradiated mDNA Retrovirus - 2006 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:28:50 GMT /section-709-mosquitobytes-volume-07-irradiated-mdna#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11978 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11978 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11978 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11977-apocrypha https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11977-apocrypha Diaphanous Heliotrope Mercieca, Andrew MosquitoBytes Volume 07: Irradiated mDNA Retrovirus - 2006 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:27:47 GMT /section-709-mosquitobytes-volume-07-irradiated-mdna#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11977 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11977 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11977 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11976-because-there-are-no-answers https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11976-because-there-are-no-answers I've worn these suicides as bangles on thin wrists and I cannot recall spring;
