Tarralla 2004 - $5, while
stocks last.
Girls survive war, flood and rough surgery.
A boy renounces violence. An old soldier
remains permanently on duty. There is
anticipation at the picture show and
disappointment at the disco. Lovers meet
and ancestors warn. Skeletons prove
useful. Dragons and angels hover at the
edge of sight. Land is cherished, built upon,
mapped and flown over. Cultures blend or
clash. Past and present collide.
'Let's talk Australia, my love.'

After
Karen Phillips
Vapour trails shriek to
the horizon, disperse; smoke
spirals, spreads in air.
Petals, leaves, new grass,
rags flutter among rubble
seared by scorching wind.
This glare extending
- neither sunrise nor sunset -
sheds light on nothing.
Rain pools collect in
tarnished armour; reflecting
grey empty branches.
Snow, fallen, lies light
over bone shards; no footprint
troubles its whiteness.

Tarralla 2002 - Sorry
- Sold Out!
fiction is imagination
in battle fatigues
assaulting the soft underbelly of reality
claiming beach heads
from the kingdom of tomorrow
