Poem Category: Australian

a trilling stream
the stallion
drinks in stones

wolf howls
each new pup
drooling a mouth to feed

the wolves come baying
in the deepening snows
they must feed their lives in

prey brings the wolves on
brings them baying on and on
in the white breathed cold

the will
in pollen
creation

late night alone
my pregnancy kit
opened in the bathroom

first day home
in sweetening breaths
the lemon Gum trees

almost skeletons
the drought farmed
day to day

Sun dried
a garland of flowers
around Laurel’s neck

from clouds the moon
nests of turtles leave the sand
for the sea,for the sea
