It is Saturday and the last official day of summer 2009. It is a little overcast and humid and heavy but we are still comfortable in shorts and cossies and t shirts and bare feet on polished floor boards.
In the background I have a load of dark washing tumbling and spinning through the last [...]

Phoenix – Every Day
Posted in Poetry, tagged Haiku on February 27, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Our skin (one or two)
blisters and tears as we move
away into the day
Where do I end and
you begin – breathing you in
to me holding my breath
my body walks away
into morning and life
rending touch. aching
An open wound I work
talk and play with words, with deeds
leading back to you
the phone startles me
breathlessly your voice stirs heat
heart turns [...]

As Grey’s Anatomy is on TV and Tony and Geni are both glued to it – eating chocolate frogs, and drinkin g Pepsi Max ( Tony in a vase – which holds a litre and Geni in a more civilised glass) I have unencumbered access to the net, for once.
Night time? yes.
Geni is not glued [...]
Normal work day

Normal? What passes for normal in my world?
5.30am I get up. I set two alarms in case one doesn’t work and I am the first one to wander into each day. It is still dark when I pad, barefoot on the polished wooden floor boards down to the bathroom taking the clothing I lay out [...]

I spent two hours at work and then walked the two blocks to meet Pandy and Nick, Tess and Tony at the coffee shop in front of the Family Court. Pandy’s lawyers is thorough and well prepared and Pandy was going through a 17 page affidavit with numerous attachment. The lawyer advised us that she [...]

to myself. Now what shall I do?

Yearning

My ipod drips feeds me music
filling my journey workward
earlier than any sensible soul
would go,
and behind it
your voice
long unheard
whispers to me .
Despite time
despite distance between -
what is it that sings to me,
eloquently
of you?
Moments

An entire field of singular grass blades each tipped with it’s very own dewdrop catching the morning sun and becoming diamonds.
the sudden feel of that warm coccoon between the quilt and you on a cool morning and the comfort of the snooze button and multiple pressings. AND still making the train. Well, not the usual [...]
New Business website

I am smack bang in the middle of a website design project for work. The existing website is ancient clumsy and buries things. On top of that because of the way it was coded ( obviously cutting edge 10 years ago… BUT…. – I am sure you get the picture.)
Because of where I work there [...]
