a rule follower
breaks me
no longer hit
she’s happy
calling down the line
I’m older
she’s wiser
recycled earrings fly
listen
I say, I say, I say
she tells
how the birds went away
and acid anxiety eats
what drink soothes
for a time
we talk
bushfire lives-
get blown sky high
this way
women
hold each other
on a Sunday
