Driving hills at night

Driving hills at night

headlights reveal the landscape

suddenly a yacht

From broad spear-shaped leaves

From broad spear-shaped leaves

they grow to form coarse grey trunks

that can become shields

The world spins backward

The world spins backward

we’re living in tomorrow

— antipodeans

When the music hits

When the music hits 

colliding with emotions 

 — crying in the car

Hot winds are revealed

Hot winds are revealed

playing on a busy road

— blossom drift patterns 

They came with fire wood

They came with fire wood

a side order of green ants

tasted delicious

They found their hollow

They found their hollow
grass parrots now make a nest
— excited chatter

Stellar sea cow tanka

Perucetus Colossus
Bigger than Blue Whales

dense bones they’ve now discovered

a stellar sea cow

but not the Steller Sea Cow

Perucetus Colossus

Wattlebirds fly in

Wattlebirds fly in

among blooming foliage

sparrows quick exit

Three states of water

Sunlight off brown ponds

rocks that vibrate under streams

droplets with rainbows 

Dull wattlebird call

Dull wattlebird call

sign of appreciation

grevillea bloom
