    5 Poems by Jackson

    Please wait to be seated 

    Please wait to be seated.
    You will be shown to good seats
    but you will have to surrender. 

    Stand there and wait.
    You may be given a public place,
    in the centre of the faces and voices,
    or a private booth:
    a watching space, a listening hush.
    You will be ushered by good-looking attendants
    but you will have to surrender. 

    Observe the rituals.
    Listen carefully, ask
    clearly and quietly,
    behave with respect. 

    And let a hungrier person go before you
    and let a weaker person hold onto you.
    Then wait in silence.
    You will be shown. 

    From Coracle 


    When you dance 

    When you dance it’s as if
    you gather the music
    into yourself,
    into the softness
    of your diaphragm and belly,
    and smear it through your body,
    along the long cords of you —
    tendons, neurons, axons, veins
    spine, lungs, bowels, hips —
    and extrude it down the pipes of your lean limbs. 

    When you dance you keep your arms
    straight by your sides, point and wag
    and jerk your hands,
    quiver your body like a zephyred leaf,
    and stare at your feet, which you shuffle. 

    When you dance it’s as if your legs
    and arms
    and eyes
    are pulled toward ground
    by the music’s grand
    unified force. In all my life 

    you’re the only one
    I’ve ever met
    who dances
    like that. 

    From lemon oil ; First published in the author's chapbook q finger (PressPress 2011) 


    If the rain

    If the rain works away our concrete
    and steel, to reach and feel
    original stone and earth 

    If it wears away the metal
    rings and brick boxes around street trees
    so greenfleshed lives can sway, scented,
    in their shelter 

    If it knocks out the electric
    lines and stops
    our train, traps
    it for vines and mudwalls 

    If it slops the style
    out of our hair and the makeup
    off our faces, hoses off
    our lowrise jeans and highrise boots,
    our ghoulgear and bling,
    our multitoned helpnessness and hope 

    If it grows on our backs
    fur and homespun and moss 

    From Coracle 

    The fisherwoman 

    The fisherwoman
    in her boat
    under the sky,
    deep blue above,
    deep blue below,
    hat
    salty, skin
    rippled,
    waiting,
    the fisherwoman
    sings.
    A soft song
    o my love, o my lord,
    carry me, float me, rock me, rescue me
    a soft song for the fish and the sky
    and the broad ocean and all the things on islands
    that call to her.
    Buildings, streets, people, suits
    on green islands
    across the ancient ocean,
    the endless sleeping sea.
    Through the light she sees the islands
    and the fish watch
    and wait.
    From Coracle ; First published in Pixel Papers 


    haiku sequence August 2013 

    the haiku poet
    broad feet
    in delicate shoes 

    small white feather
    facing the stratus sky
    a beggar's hand 

    spring in the Cultural Centre
    lavender tangles
    with banksia 

    in the city
    no-one notices
    the ten-metre wall 

    a spring seedling
    three tiny leaves meet
    an enormous shoe 

    wind blows out my candle
    but not the one
    on the banksia bush 

    at last a bird
    comes close enough
    to write about
