and a poem about my work . . .

the end of May
gusts  animate falling plane leaves
a farewell curlicue dance
through thinning air
collins street 5pm
crisp leaves crackle and crunch
beneath determined feet
melbourne in autumn
quieter walks on leafy carpet
softened by rain
and amongst fallen leaves
other seasons’ ends
rest and curl
