parting one point five

among the lavender

a myna feather

 

five k ruled radius

behind a fence

frayed bird of paradise

 

mask-less men at work

the seven sides of a stop sign

 

a grey gum forks

electric wires

my muzzled breath

 

distant school bell sings

suitcase on the nature strip

 

in roller-blade knee pads

an old man paints

 

the broken lock

on a gate that swings

stage four curfew

 

eight pm

rings around the August moon
