1. Courtship in the hall of broken mirrors
vases of freshly cut geraniums line the tables the enrcircle the hall
ecalyptus scent fills the senses
love whirls and twirls in and out through the night

2 Dewdrops for Liz (midnight flight from deception bay)
steel kisses skin by an unwelcome alien
for some courage only comes threatening the vulnerable
a fortuitous friend surprising
midnight feet fly into the night
towards love and future
3 hush little child, even a mountain must slumber
moonlight steals in windows
kisses hope, leaves to the unknown
“hush little child, even a mountain must slumber
hush little child, I love you
When night falls and I am gone
inside your heart I will always be there
always
with you”
4 the butchers begin
politicians maneuver men like meat towards targeted personal outcomes
5 The man from Tallegalla
submerged in horror and despondency
desperation drives rapid reactions
adrenaline fueled future stories too painful to re-tell

6 Beauty among the debris
weed like flowers blossom among debris of despair
fragile smiles on infant features reassures
reinforces the heart

7 heave ho away (pray you’ll get your pay before your CEO steals another raise)
titles were switched
clothing rebranded
stepping back into a past which has moved on
knowing all too well the same real struggles have returned
different title same bared teeth smile
life is rough down the barrel of a gun
when the sight is always on you
head my words we must learn from the past
not everything is new
8 The triumphant march of the peace makers
command calls
demands detainment of duties
pathetic patriotic parade parrots political publicity
familial duties over ride
AWOL in the night
no one will persecute that which is justified and right
