Primrose Street

Brunswick smells like

chocolate cake and wattle.

Kids yell out car windows

then duck and hide.

 

Traffic bumps along busily.

A stream of headlights

strewn down the street.

 

Early autumn orange above,

crushed amber beneath my feet.

Street lights weighed down

by early dusk damp.

 

Hushed suburban streets aglow

with dinner just on

and TV down low

I just moved in

but I feel at home.
