Bio
I live in Melbourne and have had two collections of poetry published: "Polishing the Silver" (2006) and "Weight of Snow" (2013).

Swan Song
I know these leaves are dying
but their rich blood red
looks so much like vibrant life
spread in a blush
An old woman with swollen
and knotted fingers
knits a grandchild's jacket
in feather-soft white wool
A man on his deathbed
agrees to donate his heart
to the brother
he has always hated
A dying star turns supernova
the massive explosion of colour
seducing artists and seeding
life into the dark
