the helicopter went down
in darkness
eelelectricblueblack
I saw the rotorblades
swimming in the spotlights
distorted by lightwaves
wet sinking fast
through butterflywing fishshoals
I saw the surface
slip from our grasp
I saw dayglo
fish bellies as pale as
lonely faces
tell me:where were you:to tell me
I’m dreaming again

Australian-born, with English mother, has lived in several Australian cities and in London. Travelled widely. Way way back when, published widely as a poet and short story writer. For the first 20 years of my working life I worked as an entertainment journalist, publicist, PR consultant and in advertising and media agencies. In the second 20 years, I worked in marketing roles at non-profit organisations then retrained as a teacher, primarily teaching English to non-English speaking, newly-arrived refugees. Also did miserable McJobs, and a long, happy stint at an art gallery.
