vince gullaci Poems

I've got to
calm down
look around
there's more to see
...

Do you smile
fondly
when you think
of me
...

I lay down
beneath
The Moreton Bay Fig Tree
until I lost the sense of time and space
...

I don't want
the Polar vortex
or the Beast From The East
give me the gentle snow
...

I'm tired
tuckered out
I think I need
a glass of wine
...

Food and water
and the plant grows
taller and taller
soon I won't need
...

We don't remember well
our loved ones
who succoured us
in our time of need,
...

I'm my little mate
the blackbird's burden
the other blackbirds
swoop him away from me
...

There's nothing
as sticky
as dog's poo
try as I might
...

I didn't know
some ants had wings
or cicadas burrowed their way
out of the soil
...
