We used to live in a place called FACTORYTOWN. One word. No breathing inbetween.

Brother
Brother,
Although the bed smells like
safety, and the blankets cling
to your shoulders
(as if cloaking you as Eddard,
turned North to the Wall)
To be a mountain is not
your fate;
Nor a plain, for others to
pass through.
Ebb as the sea does,
crash down as a tidal wave.
Make all known,
and court sirens at twilight
with your soothing rhythms.

Sea cucumbers off the Darwin Coast
Like a wave of suddenly identified metanarrative
I am reeling:
bobbing my overboard to participate
in the occasional cheeky spew.
Is this excitement?
Or nerves?
Is this the new South Wales
that the captain explored and declared barren?
Or the undiscovered Darwin coast
holding lovely trade of sea cucumbers,
broken discussions and haggling
over wares deemed a natural commodity?
How will we live?
