Million Billion Trillion

----
coffee time
hopping bird
sitting on my table
making eye contact with passers by
as if to say
quit looking at her: she's with me

------

cairns lagoon
shrivelled prune!
fat maori man
thin junkie man
make jokes about longevity

lovers lock lips
hands benesth the water slips
sun shining on families with no fathers

i can make this sound
tragic or magic

two brothers play
"he is the evil king
tearing on my arm to death"

beneath it or above it all
some hellish darkness
lives quietly beside us

in all the beauty and happiness of life
there is an infinite sadness among these children
who laugh and love in the light of day.

ill write more later, on my trip to Uk. i love you and i want to tell you that your letters are treasures and your poems make me weak at the knees.
