Flowers falling

Tuis grawking and dial-toning in the Green Belt

among the obliging Aussie eucalypts

whose red dirt nectar they relish more

than the pale citrus, herbaceous local drop.

Was this a dream? Who cares. ‘And then I woke up’ is such

a cop-out. Sipped flowers falling before us as we walked.

Wild turkey at the back of the driving range

It sits up nicely for you under dreamy azure

but keep your head down. Hang on to your white meat

turkey sandwich. After dark they floodlight the range and you see

red eyes down there at the back. Trajectories, they go up

and over, they sky then earth, a line that can’t be straight

because it’s too full of meaning. A thoughtful pause.

I see where you’re coming from, but you need to

settle down, earthed and ready for impact.
