The Green Gazebo: Remembered
A long time ago
I sat beneath the green gazebo.
Huddled in my ego’s coat
& this is what I wrote:
The Green Gazebo
We sat beneath the green gazebo,
Just me, myself and my ego.
We spoke of very many things,
How grief and joy both have wings.
We had so very much to say
And that is how we spent the day.

it’s an imaginary place; but there was once a green gazebo, much less lavish than this, at the end of my daughter’s street in Brisbane I’d sometimes sit in for a few quiet moments of reflection —
