Documenting some major and minor moments in the world around me, social and aesthetic, as it goes by.
Apollo Bay - 5am, 7th August 2010
The ocean was with us all night
Thunderous and heavy
Rolling over in its sleep
And further out, deep
Full of whales and coldness.
Your tiny sounds as you slept
My creeping through the house so as not to wake you
To write this.
Outside
Barely breathing
The dark, unwoken, world.
