Ritual

Life is ritual. Is 
personal. How to tell
if some last act of
dreaming truncates the
night. Check the garden 
for weeds, cut back 
some bushes. Plants 
do not grow as you 
want them to. Ants
move back & forth
across the wall in a
disturbed depiction 
of their DNA.

A poem from the Bureau of Meteorology

Significant rainfall may develop over 
the weekend about the Herbert & 
Lower Burdekin & the Cassowary Coast, 
with a monsoon trough in place, rich 

tropical moisture & onshore flow ex-
pected to strengthen. Enhanced rainfall 
due to widespread showers & isolated 
embedded thunderstorms is possible 

from tonight & throughout the week-
end, with extremely wet soils & river 
catchments leading to a higher than 
normal vulnerability to flash flooding.

Le Regard Mental


Look at 
the build-
                 ing. Think. How do I
                 reach the roof? & which 
                                                         roof should
                                                         I aim for? & 
                  if I do 
                  reach a
               roof, will the entire 
               structure remain up-
               right or will it tumble 
                                                      over
                                                      once 
                                my weight threatens 
                                to send it off balance? 
                                Houses upon houses
                                in this one spot. How 
     is the rest of the street likely to look?
