Joyce Parkes



Certainty’s Address

Walking to dwell
with Perhaps, Maybe
wondered if the next

step could take her
to Certainty’s address.
Would Certainty be

home and for how long
before visiting
another country again;

seeing the housed
and forlorn, listening
to argument and song

singing of dwellers
and sojourners claiming
a place to belong.

Joyce Parkes has published in literary magazines, journals and anthologies in Australia and in nine other countries.
