    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 brink
