Dja Dja Wurrung Country/Bendigo
Saturday 30 October 2021

I
woke

unwrapped gifts
got + sent texts

spooned sugar into coffee
added apple to oats

heard Florence Welch’s words
let the dog walk me

tidied
scrubbed stains off a black jacket

went out
to the pub for lunch

+ stayed out
                      in the blue
                                            all afternoon
