The first is Adams Gully Road. Adams Gully Road…

seams

I found an old concert ticket

in the lint of your coat pocket

a naive heart scrawled on the back

the perforated line

travels through the middle like

a prophecy

if I hold it to the light

the tome of its tired icon

seems to float

which has me thinking of ghosts

the sentimental kind

that speak to us

from some sovereign moment in our future

that spook the wings in our chest

& launch a constellation of trysts

i’ve pinned it above the calendar

the bank sends every year

a kitsch loyalty gift of painterly scenes

july is a storm over a seaside town

& the image you took of mackenzie falls

it had its own pulse you said

your box brownie

swallowed its soul with voodoo

but not even a photo could stop it from beating

this road trip

we’ll smoke chesterfield kings

holiday reckless

drink black coffee from your grandmother’s tartan thermos

perch with the gulls on limestone cliffs

watching white caps break off the fleurieu

swaddled like newborns

in our coats from fletcher jones

until the wilds

pull at our seams
