Three River Poems
River Onus / Deadlocked
unjudging water,
tantamount
and fatalistic
when you feel –
homonym of their rescinded.
gifted ourself, this time as
the pro forma
deadlock
to be swallowed by our sodden fucking inch
become loan
WA river diuretic
the mafic running down quartzing suicides
bushwalk hysterics, known heart
less argument, the Swan
               riddle off skint,
detailing inspired shells
they are coolant,
untriable onuses
rainswell to inverse
apotheosis
Full Syntax Lament

only as river as ameliorate
bank our desire
to need or sympathy
a total hedge
– and in keeping with
all recalcitrant lament,
reductive:
that when They outsourc(e)d loss
