summer dreaming a white cloud snagged on wollumbin jb sudden wind the lemon-scented gum tosses out crows nb harvest moon the apple peel drops away qy wailing child- the sea flings up kelp again qy collapsed cottage a galvanised bath tub full of sunshine jb forked lightning ibis in ragged file across the cloud qy january surf- a dolphin pod threads the pack of surfers jb misty scrub a young kookaburra bungles its call nb winter morning a thread of wool in its beak qy day moon the swamp hen teeters on a lily pad nb |
wash day raindrops hanging on the line qy dawn hush ... gum tips in first light jb autumn equinox I break the kindling across my knee nb thunderhead- the shell of a cicada in my hand jb christmas eve flaming leaves fly tree to tree qy frayed hammock sound of the dog scratching nb high noon: burrows both sides of the rabbit-proof fence jb cirrus cloud the rosella sways on a seed head nb low bridge I enter the mutter of cane toads nb southern cross- a drover shares the universe with his dog jb |
