You're a poppet
Held so dearly 
A curl in a locket
Keep you near me
You're a keepsake
For the ages. 
Petals pressed in the pages. 

Oh, I keep you around
To remind me of her.

Be my reminder
Of the good things
Until I find her
Until she brings me
Tears and laughter
Warm ardour 
Oh, in the hereafter.

Ghosts

Be hated
And bear the blame.
Know that the Hawaiian Isles
Won't have you back again.

Displacement. 
Become a replacement blight
For the beetles you won't eat
They’re never satisfied.

Be brought in and driven out
Be venomous and stout
You'll be rolling up in Perth
Before the century is out.

Provide to science
Die in formaldehyde
Go under a fumbling student knife.
Belly distended…

Greenish brown, 
It’s not a colour I’ve found
To be acceptable
In this town

Brownish-green
Is not a colour I’ve seen
To be oh, at home
In this land.

Native Species

Old climes 
Had a heat in the heart. 
Everything everything a tumble
Every word I fumble.

These days sublime
Still defining a part. 
Everything everything is open 
Every single word I spoke was...

All in pursuit of some meaning. 
Starting with you,
Show the world I'm awaking. 
Oh- I overflow, burst my heart-seams.
Glorious debut,
Start my reckless life.

Held it all too dear. 
Fear of failing
Weighing heavy on my mind
And I'll delay.

That was me in those days. 
Hide in rooms. 
Waiting for a sign
This time was...

All in pursuit of some meaning. 
Starting with you,
Show the world I'm awaking. 
Oh- I overflow, burst my heart-seams.
Glorious debut,
Start my reckless life.
