the irresistible smell of jasmine
grabbed her by the hand
and led her into the tall grass
the nearby locals must have thought she was hypnotised

as I took this photo
my womb was ready
to shed her lining
and gift me with what I’d wanted all year

I knelt in the grass
stared adoringly at my lover
in absolute awe
of his resilience and strength

standing at the front of my favourite fast food joint
I pictured this shot in my head
the classic golden arches
towering over the national flag

we’d been on the beach since midday
enjoying drinks and nibbles for father’s day
this disinterested dingo
routinely scouted his beach

the night I had two of my friends
experience death way too close to home
now I knew
that I would live my life for me
