Local Lines
haiku
crabwalking
with heads cocked
bookshop browsers
pre-winter
arm(y) attack
flu shot
a cockatoo cry
unzipping the sky
what will fall out
first cake cut
on his birthday face
a cracked smile
on the stack
the click of bricks
unbuilding
– Bill Wootton
In between cleaning bricks, getting jabbed, writing haiku, Bill has been strolling the streets of Hepburn Springs.

Local Lines features poetry by locals about local and any other matters.
