Medea – towards the end
PoetryShe wanted to confuse the staff and brings in a pebble from the garden as suggested, placing it into the pocket of the man in the next room.

PoetryThere are many ways to carry a story. My father smothered his stories with bravado. Here he is, laughing at the sea drenching him on the deck.

PoetryBetween one end of the gap and the other the gravity of our gaze can but scratch like banksias at your fingertips before starlight splits the present across his teeth into pearl and lime stanzas.
