#emu
I went to the Zoo, for some brew
I wandered around, to animal sounds
while my liver and brain, they got stewed
Oh yes, it's wild, and it's true
I went to the Zoo, for some brew
as trips to the loo, maybe 1, 10, or 2
be glad it was me, and not you
I went to the Zoo, for some brew
I wandered around, to animal sounds
bladder gets full, pee's what ya do
but not, in where caged, are Emu's

People call me ugly,
And other hurtful names,
I'm often ostri-sized,
My feathers used for games.
They say the Ugly-Duckling
Grew up to be a swan,
And though I'm still but very young,
They ask me What went wrong?
I'm left here on my own-some;
And feel so sad and blue,
Well, you would feel the same
If you were an ... emu.

Close your eyes
staring at the sun
it’s dropping fast
burnt umber runs
Mountain auras
dividing shadows
lights the purple line
between day and night
Dark silhouettes
sinking deep
illuminates behind
the promise of sleep
Night stars cascading
emu peeps
between milky light
eternally creeps
Shooting stars bright
inner eye sees
cacophonies of colour
shapes our very lives
It’s dreams, it’s time
it’s endless and divine
this half way place
all here, sublime
It’s spirals, it’s dots
it’s country, it’s us
explaining the universe
simple yet complex
