Tenderfoot

General Store

Author

Lucy Byrnes is in her first year at UWA (BA) and spends a chunky fist full of time reading copious amounts of books, occasionally writing and pedalling a rusty bicycle in the direction of salt and sand.

Lucy Byrnes

concrete polished caves

crisscrossed and lost

cardboard and chrome aisles

knotted into

sardine tinned tangles that

echo the crisp

pulse of deep-freeze

cicadas in tune to a

halogen heroine playing

hooky with the night
