mediator<br />
by Cam Black<br />
a fight in my street this morning<br />
on the walk to the tram<br />
a difference of colour<br />
four of one<br />
attacking<br />
one of another<br />
loud exclamations by all in<br />
languages<br />
i could not underst<strong>and</strong><br />
i crossed the road<br />
to help<br />
the weight of my presence<br />
Cam Black is a Melbourne poet.<br />
Army of G<br />
by Raymond G Leavold<br />
The fragments<br />
Need to be<br />
Reconciled,<br />
Come back to me<br />
Everything that I’ve lost,<br />
All the flakes of skin,<br />
The hairs,<br />
The nails I’ve picked off,<br />
Complete me,<br />
Make me a new person:<br />
Raymond G Leavold is a writing student.<br />
enough to end the<br />
melee<br />
four indian mynah birds flew<br />
in different directions at<br />
my approach<br />
the harassed-looking<br />
small common blackbird<br />
did not spare me a glance<br />
as he took the exit<br />
thus opened<br />
but i was there<br />
nonetheless<br />
The old one,<br />
Make me three more,<br />
There’s enough to go around,<br />
Give me the hair & nails<br />
That grow<br />
When I’m dead,<br />
& I will give you<br />
an army<br />
from everything<br />
I’ve shed.<br />
