A poem from Lead Skeletons

Lead Skeletons No comments »
I posted an excerpt from a poem here. It's a love poem of sorts.

Here's the full text of the poem, which is included in my book Lead Skeletons.

Let me know what you think.


Note to him/self

You've seeped through every living cell.
You've made my bones your home.
Your presence shades my past uncertainties,
colours my tomorrows.
Your stillness punctures the racket of sleepless thoughts.
Your gentleness swabs wounded memories,
your faith congeals in the bullet-holes in my self-belief.
Your anger reminds me that you need healing too.

Here are a few fun photos from the fab Australian launch of my book Lead Skeletons on Friday 6 August 2010.

...me sayin' a few words before reading some poems...


...talented poet Jude Aquilina launches my book, Lead Skeletons...


...Trish M, Jude and me.


...havin' some fun...


...and some more.


A big thank you to all who supported me, who came along to the launch, and who bought books.

And another reminder that 10% of the sale price of each book will be donated to Ovarian Cancer Australia: a worthy cause.
