Poppies on a road in Oz ;;
Raf, come down from there. Raf, what are you doing?
It’s a better angle for spotting puddings ;;
// Great Ocean Road, VIC, Australia
Can’t take me anywhere ;;
where would the birds be without me here?—
the ones that fly back unpredictably
and perch in my thinning hair,
this and every November.

and I am sad. But the iris I moved from your house
now hold in the dusty dry fists of their roots
green knives and forks as if waiting for dinner,
as if spring were a feast. I thank you for that.
Were it not for the way you taught me to look
at the world, to see the life at play in everything,
I would be lonely forever.
