Dear All,
I have fin­ished with exams for the moment, and thus am lan­guish­ing within the Med­ical Fac­ulty Com­puter Labs. My Inter­net con­nec­tion is as yet unfixed, sadly, and thus I must util­ise the facil­it­ies of the Uni­ver­sity of Mel­bourne, free of charge!
It is a relief to be done, though this set of exams, I must say, I fared poorly […]

It grows, it creeps–
vines spider
over staid brick­work
in Mel­bourne
in Spring
the flowers push up
and grass spikes
sneak­ily
between cracks in con­crete.
Green Mel­bourne!
the veget­a­tion invades
occupy­ing ter­rit­ory on Collins Street
cling­ing to stra­tegic loc­a­tions
far above the rush of cars
Green Mel­bourne!
there is love
there is ten­der­ness
in the embrace of the city
of garden
Spring snakes pur­pose­fully
assim­il­at­ing con­crete
metal
glass
into life
