The Wattle Room

Winter's Still Life

​

Yellow and red leaves gaze upon the

expected taciturn season

The stubborn denseness of winter is near

​

Obeying buttressed thoughts

of the beginning and the end

Unemployed plastic door

Masked armour of fakery

Her tin eyelids are closing now

​

Cold metal words

Suspended                                in the depths

      of the black dam

              Circling resolve is caught in the

                                                                                   clank

​
