Sunday
I take the bins down to the road
ear buds & tired feet
the distant shriek of cockatoos
a neighbour’s screen door
crashes
I’m wearing black pants
& the smell of vacuuming
the dog trots away
ignores my calls
& on the long driveway
I dance to Macy Grey
circling a single pink bud
that fell with the rain
happiness in a breath
eucalyptus tinged
Lovely. All of it.

thanks Bob. Sometimes tiny moments really spark for reasons you can’t quite fathom.
