morning round—
one by one I greet
the garden’s skinks
Leanne Mumford
if we could be
as happy as that
magpie dawn
Hazel Hall
he wakes me
with a gentle touch
of his paw
Tom Staudt
bedside table
a well-thumbed poetry book
with new annotations
Vanessa Proctor
first light
in tangled sheets
the shape you make
Gavin Austin
the feel of the key
in the lock
home
Maurice Nevile
