New Years Day 2006

Stinking hot day .. anyway I rose early and lit some incense sticks to commemorate the 25 years since Sue did not come back from her swim at Harbord.

I also put some photos up on the web from the old photo albums. Good memories, time I dusted them off and let them live again.

Bali

So i arose early and
lit three incense sticks for Sue ...
and looked thru an old album of pics ...
no tears ....
but i did renew some memories

of beaches and skiing
of ironing and the "cool it" hat
of mu-mus and sarongs
of frizzy hair and quirky smiles

Snowy Mountains

I remember sailing
in the Whitsundays
of biking in Bali

there we were in a motel
there we were at the twelve apostles
taking photos
taking time
being us
in a world
rich with adventure
and promise
all fading
in a photo album
but alive still
for a brief moment
while the incense burnt
and the cat lay content
upon her back
in the rising heat
of a new years morning
25 years after its all come
and gone
