My friend managed to get genuine bits of foyer - Canberra York gray granite and San Fransisco green granite - from the case of Tabcorp Holdings Ltd v Bowen Investments Pty Ltd [2009] HCA 8, (2009) 236 CLR 272. No wonder Mrs Bergamin was so shocked and dismayed.

If I wrote a sitcom of my life, no one would believe it. In my fiction, I wrote a dirge, sung by a eunuch in a totally made up funeral rite. Someone emailed my co-collaborator and I to say that they really loved the dirge and actually used it in a real funeral.

In the morning light, fine threads glisten.
Tiny spiders have joined the cumquat tree with the rosemary.
Back and forth, the garden chairs are knit with tens of shining strands.
One tiny spider dared to leap from the washing line to the sage bush.
A leap of faith, weaving the world together.
