A poetic offering to Melbourne
silken shards
silken shards of quartz
stain their naked lips in hope
and slow surrender
poem in window: 121 Hardware Street, Melbourne 3000
kisses, torched
gather kisses torched
by gauche and grasping fingers lost
in the starless night
poem in window: 6 Goldie Place, Melbourne 3000
black moonlight
splintered lavender
cut from heptagonal skies
bathes in black moonlight
poem in window: 121 Hardware Street, Melbourne 3000
lips of velvet
veiled lips of velvet
hunt Boticellin whispers
drenched in wine and dust
poem on wall: 435 Little Collins Street, Melbourne 3000
crimson fall
ruptured slow by dawn
they await the crimson fall
of dead autumn leaves
poem in window: 36 Hardware Lane, Melbourne 3000
ripe, untouched
diffuse the morning
before their eyes are pillaged
of ripe untouched dreams
poem in window: 16 Katherine Place, Melbourne 3000
