July

 

“wye july haiku”

 

*of droplet thread rising stream

waterfall

off leaf stone ledge fern frond pool

 

*fire stump frills brief rainbow

rosella

and another on seed hunt

 

*renaissance earplug drops of

spotify

daybreak’s mist trickling window

 

*kindling powder redgum dust

fireplace

morning’s level playing field

 

*corrugated ripples ring

water tank

wherein deep waters run still

 

*white smoke drifts above gully

rainwater

reflects on decking glistens

 

*smoothest mud wettest leaf where

echidna

spiralled a ball of a time

 

*curvy cloudy sky tingling

eucalypts

claw boulder underground creak

 

*gravel grip vehicle climbs

boulevarde

then again birdcall silence

 

*bolstered balustraded bold

weekenders

pop corks watch screens have a doze

 

*green neck torsion straightened

king parrot

black claw precision ambles

 

*treetop crests waving miles meet

horizon

permanent marker sea line

 

*cold elongated grassy

watercourse

old unsung storm-drain the sea

 

*dropdown seaviews wildweeds up

no-through-road

chorus raucous cockatoos

 

*water everywhere high tide

erosion

bark hangings drip from branches

 

*guttering froth blowholes gasp

salt water

returns thunder against reef

 

*uncontained sky white grey blue

container

uncontained sea grey blue green
