Saving daylight
The lost hour
in reports
of alien abduction,
dawn short changed,
trams and trains early,
honeyeaters
and next door's cat
late.
Lunch arrives too soon.
Loiter
of thin sun
in afternoon,
the flowers
kids in pyjamas
after bedtime.
Dusk drags its feet.
Stars and petrol station neons
kept for night.
