estelle sitting on her morning chair

She rescued a moth
She stayed awake all night
She watched from her window

The orange creep
over Elizabeth Bay
waits one lonely hour
maybe two
turns whitely blue
has Rose Bay molluscs
running for holes
in the sand

She rescued a moth
She stayed awake all night
She watched from her window

The grasscutters glare
from Mcelhone Park
shines upward then falls
in quick repitition
the blade like precision
has codfish swimming in circles
waiting for something to eat

She rescued a moth
She stayed awake all night
She watched from her window
