Compass by Megan Hicks

Poetry feature
Julian Ashton reads Compass
I'm walking down an unknown no through road
 
Pushing the borders of my local government area 

Testing the margin's tolerance for noise

Main western railway line across the street 

North-south airport landing path above

A wisp of trumpet practice ...

... seeping from ...

... a small white van that's parked outside a house 

The banished player crouching in the back

I move along now heading roughly east

Another aircraft screams in overhead
