Honorable Mention
picture window
Frank Faust

the oversized glass is noticeable
eye-catching in its own right
taller than a man standing
almost as wide as the room
boundaries marked by the thick
full-height timber of the adjoining sashes
one each side of the main window

the outlook presents in squared format
as through the view-finder of my instamatic

this morning the sun
only part-emerged
from behind the remnants of rain and cloud
adds lustre to the green grasses
of the eastern aspect
a serene expanse in the centre
of this East Malvern
the heart of suburbia
bordered by highway and shopping town
MacDonalds and higher education
as far from the lapping waters of my Bay
as I am able to imagine
and yet a small compensation

in the foreground
advantaged by
the morning light from above and the parkland beyond
the slender sheoak
a stoop of dangled soft-needle leaves
coloured wet and dark against the peeping sun
holds a tremble of diamond at each tip
a bright one hundred
that glisten like light played over a treasure chest
framed in the living-picture window
of number thirty-eight
