The final tightening turn
of a screw
The sound of the shutter opening on
a single-lens-reflex camera
The steam from freshly-cooked Penne pasta
poured into a colander
The distant whistle of a train horn
while the stars set and the moon dies
Opening the door in the early mornings of September
to find Katydids crawling on your house
The first cut into a rarely cooked
18 oz New York Strip steak
The way your hand fits into mine
as we walk around the park
A white Ferrari in 2nd gear at
8500 RPM
The heart throbs and beading sweat
after a five kilometre run
Purchasing something worth $24,000
in cash
The difference between an Australian accent
and a New Zealand accent
Crisp, light, and cool white sheets
enveloping a body after a long day on the beech
Frogs croaking at midnight
on an idyllic shore
Pulling a friend to the next
bracket of success
Grabbing the gearshift, depressing the clutch, relaxing the throttle,
then pulling down on the knob for a lower gear
Witnessing the master-slave dialogue in
the criticism of an educator
Arriving home to find
a delivered package
~Waiting for shoes.
Love,
Digress.
