urban sprawl

Uncategorized 1 Minute

written for Mish’s dVerse quadrille “shift”

gravel roses in the carpark
the laying of rocks and rubber

from the bus stop, 
a feral pack of eyes 
opaque as tinted windows 
drill the day

heat shifts – 
like nests of tunnelling ants -
and ticklish gum leaves 

make way for the sun

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary.
