OF MUSE, MEANDERING AND MIDNIGHT
1: of muse
a prelude
magnesium girl
after 2am
back seat driver
on the river
waiting for the good man
raindrops fall in vain
chloe in the window box
the postman’s privilege
musing: the graveyard shift
new farm is closed
2: meandering
white stucco dreaming
the crooked men
falling mother sky
brown water looting
jetty nights
carefree
the mosquito room
mudflat
deadman’s mouth harp
it starts
a verse for the cheated
1986
the fatal garden
radio thick blood
3: and midnight...
midnight’s boxer
surgery music
a bent neck black and flustered feather mallee
the gloom swans
a black bird of my mind
fly-fishing in woolloongabba
shout-me-a-wine requiem
crust
the writer’s suitcase
midnight’s plague
labelled
for the wake and skeleton dance
the dingo lounge
valley man
cheap white-goods at the dreamtime sale
