I wore a suit to Mt Coo-tha
Bright flashes leapt as dark clouds bounced around the hills
like mischievous school boys playing with fireworks
just out of reach but close enough to flick the odd taunt
the city had been unkind today and I found myself surprised
a bit stupid at the thought it would be any different
but that’s only because I selfishly didn’t get my own way
whatever the fractious retort may have been
the plaque of some creature clung to exposed skin
requiring immediate attention and scraping
so in the dark of night as other ants scurry for cover
the journey started home with a detour to a dark high place
to feel the rain and touch an angry sky while wearing a suit
Anthracite
