Copyright (April)


My word-pictures of rock pools, replete with crimson anemones, may be disputed. A poet with prior copyright on Wye River, sometime in the future, could demand recompense. Herons ply upstream, but however it’s said payment may go to Terra Nullius Estate, sole owner of Wye depictions from any period. It has snapped up riverscapes around Australia, its portfolio including big fish like Yarra and Hawkesbury, though unnamed Americans claim Murray. Shareholders are concerned poets may test the waters by describing Wye using another name. Verbal private property gains traction, with legislation (The Literal Act) before Parliament. Wind shakes April reeds.
