  2. alleyways
    insignificant tributaries
    to the city gorge

    Steven Eaton

    thin high-rise buildings
    look down upon
    urban sprawl

    towering above
    the parks canopy
    a modern car park

  3. Gay rampage of kids
    freed for today, frolicsome
    on sun-warmed asphalt

    Two purple love hearts
    graffiti on a date palm
    and a plastic bin

    Under moonlit date
    palm we spooned—me, you—yet now
    my love’s graffiti

    1. the old man’s
      garage sale
      the smell of a lifetime

      shopping centre
      her child
      screams for me

      sugar mill
      steam wind sock
      a still cold day

  4. tarred roads
    my old gumboots
    sealed with cobwebs

    all night the street lamps…
    waiting for dawn

    suburban yard
    a single frog
    calls
