Blue Dog, the journal of the Australian Poetry Centre, has just published Andrew’s poem, “Depressions” (Volume 9, Number 17):

Depressions

 

          i

Long ago, women …

the rock-pool rock remembers

their grass-seed grinding.

 

          ii

Grooves in the granite …

the grinders, the grinding stones,

the ground seeds are gone.

 

          iii

Strangely depressing—

these depressions in the stone

from bygone grinding.
