Day 21 – not all poems have to be about my experience of love (or the lack thereof)

As the title says.

*****

perfect relationship

when my parents retire
dad wants to live in darwin
mum in cradle mountain 
mum says they’ll meet
for a month in the middle 
(in our country’s
so-called dead heart)
every five or so years
& it’ll be the perfect 
relationship, lol
