Broome: Western Australia on Easter Sunday 2000

Just before dusk
the horizon
bleeding a liquid
like a graze
just scraped

sitting in wonderment
unwrapping stars
as if Christmas treats
on this Easter night
in Broome

you then turn to me
ultra violet framed
a resurrected smile
for just moments
a satellite
