van diemens land
canyon precipice
jagged merciful
each sharp extension
endures grooves
for my fingers to rest in
or slip out of
whether I’m climbing or falling
nothing is patient as these cliffs
silent monuments
to tomfoolery & suicide
rocks call to me at night
knowing I’ve always wanted to
fling myself off something
into something else
Tasmania
heart shaped & irregular
hangs onto my memories
chained up dogs that don’t get fed
who long to slide
over the brinkCatch Julie at the Queensland Poetry Festival: Saturday/ Shopfront Space/ 10:30 am
