Holy Habits

Mt St Canice

Convent of the Good Shepherd

where

holy habits

kept slavery alive

Ghosts of the destitute

Ghosts of the destitute, linger

on empty park benches

where spirit voices whisper

 into brown paper bags.

City Park Launceston

Mushrooms

Mushrooms, like truth

break free of the dark.

A corner of my garden

comes in from the cold.

Vase from Pyrenees Pottery Beaufort Victoria

Flowers from Merlene's garden

Timeless service

he walked in the shadows of his youth

unchanged vista

of timeless service to the town

Langi Ghiran

The curtain of leaves drops

to reveal the mountains beyond

Langi Ghiran,

home of the yellow crested cockatoo.
