Robert Verdon, #151, Townsville


soft tropical hell

        storms of sweat in a mango sky
        slick airliners weaving curves from Bosch to Pollock
        safe, cyclone season months away
        such a choppy crossing, nearly seasick
        sweet Magnetic Island, old barracks backpacker motel
        sad toilet-glass windows, no curtains, phone iffy
        sick demonic headache
        so oddly spring, no one swims
        sifted jellyfish rainbow
        strange glare on a metal roof

so far from home

         some parrots personable
         some shy shy shy
         seen last in Belgian Gardens on the shuttle bus

sequestered in an increment of consciousness
