Whodathought?
(Not me).
That the same
people who
damaged the
world by
flooding it with
carbon dioxide,
now say they can
solve the problem
by flooding it with
radioactivity?

Snake in the grass – somewhere…
The “Black Dog”
is the symbol
of depression.
The “Brown Snake”
should be the
symbol of
anxiety.
Eyes wide closed
Having an online
map of bushfires
in this state,
constantly
updated,
is good because
it keeps you
informed about
what is burning.
It is bad
because it keeps
you informed about
what is burning.
The drumbeat of hooves
Every morning
I awake wondering
if this is the day
a million red
horses of the
apocalypse
will come galloping
over the western hills.
Or beetles
I don’t tread
on ants
carelessly, or
thoughtlessly, or
recklessly, or
deliberately, in
fact I don’t tread
on ants at all.
Sumer is icumen in
Watching Spring
end and Summer
begin is like
saying goodbye
to visiting friends
and seeing an
enemy coming
up the street.
Ashes
The ashes of
koalas are
blackening
the beaches of
Australia
Also climate change
Cancer and
bushfires have
this in common –
the earlier you
can catch them
the better the
chance of a cure.
Collective noun
I awake,
each morning,
to a shudder,
of anxieties.
Stay safe, my friends
Don’t give me
a home among
the gum trees
when it is
bushfire
season.
