buying unworn boots from Narre Warren a find
on Facebook marketplace thinking that the ring
of Ammonite would hurt
if you took a smack
from it clean on
the cheek wait on for the water
on the boil the potato
peas the tea
uncomfortable
the small slice of alone
wriggly in our own skins another day
then payday I say you have the thing full
spent and the dreamways are connecting
the caravans of longing to
the asinine opinions
to dots you haven’t met
I love that last stanza very much!

DeleteYep, a ripper, Narre Warren!
ReplyDeleteLove this one a lot Kerri - lots of fabulous images and stanzas - unworn, uncomfortable, wriggling away.
ReplyDeletea beauty, I love the bolded line in the middle, the effect of it
