Twist the T-bar, tamp.
Lift out, dump soil. Drive crowbar
To soften. Repeat.

Drop post into hole.
Pummel rocks and soil to fill.
Feel the firm fence post.

Goodness is Edmund Gwen.
Innocence is Natalie Wood,
The child star.
Her future that lies before her
Is in our past.
Where does Jet Jackson
Park his jet plane?
Badness wears a black hat,
But now anyone
Can buy a white hat.

At the high water
Mark, urchins sit perfectly
At rest in the sand.

Spines still shiny red.
Sand swept clean by receding
Water. Too late now.

I never listened
To your lyrics, until now.
My dream has a place.

I cannot regret
Leaving, nor can I return
To it as it was.

I have seen places
Where nothing at all happened.
Enough to be there.

Do the words of a
Poem repeat in your head
Like song lyrics do?

Jabiru. Brolga.
Kookaburra. King parrots,
Blue wrens, now black swans.
