This little piggy
cried “Wee! Wee! Wee!” all the way home.
Back home at last.
Got to see a new moon
From a slightly different window.
Room with a view
Strange place for an Atheist – view from my hospital bed, St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney. Open heart surgery on Friday.
Fight to the finish
Life is a cage fight
where a series of
giant opponents
bash and batter you
mercilessly while
your team patches you
up at the end of each
round so you can keep
going – forever
Pressure point
Comes a time in
everyone’s
life when the most
thrilling event

not a party
or a present
or promotion
or lottery
win, but just a
low blood pressure

more than the sum
of my ailments
and side effects
of medicines,
but now I have
no time left for

will cunningly
disguise itself
with the symptoms
of heart disease
and the cancers
playing hide and

Some illness
is shy, stays
hidden from
view, makes no
fuss. Gout grabs

throat and then
demands full
attention.
