An Opuscule in Loving

By Claire Potter, 2006 Australian Young Poets Fellow.

Before us, sunset
Ants skate under the blue mangroves,
unstitching small lips of warm evening

Pregnant Belly as a Bridal Dress

By Esther Ottaway, 2006 Australian Young Poets Fellow.

Her belly is veiled

tracery, the pinprick pains
of needlepoint, body's fabric
giving way to prophecy, the separating
strands of corium and scarfskin
interlacing, drawing her
to a single spellbound morning
of unveiling.
