the new home is high
to catch the summer breezes
Phil’s painting it now
in six more days we move in
there’s a huge rosemary bush
to catch the summer breezes
Phil’s painting it now
in six more days we move in
there’s a huge rosemary bush

raining in Condong
don't take the steep hilly road
but up the highway
turning in at Chinderah
high out of flood range but flat
moving in the wet
Pottsville to Murwillumbah
and back many times
the new garage filling up
boxes and boxes and box…

we’ve sorted which desk is whose
where to feed the cats
and how we can beat the heat —
home begins to shape itself

These tanka were written in early 2010 when we did move from Pottsville to Murwillumbah. They were among many tanka written at that time, on various topics. I have only just now selected these out and put them together as a sequence (in the order they were written) so as to submit 20 lines for Poets United's Verse First: Moving.
