another morning

This week, just another week in Port Moresby, a week full of mornings and mornings full of:

• earthquake murmurs
• paper clips
• overturned books
• grainy toast and bitter mango
• push pins
• postcards
• ideas
• bottle caps
• paper cranes
• rusty things
• sleeping a la cot on the verandah
• blooming hibiscii
• mirrors
• humid mornings
• solitary laps at sir donald cleland pool
• weak tea
• notes wildly scribbled
• proust
• pieces of string
• phone calls, and human pains
• while waiting for the rain.
