Boho Afternoon

Sunlit afternoon
Banana Chairs and Boho
The smell of the sea

the blue sky, the sun
magenta saris swirling
the light festival

One crow for sorrow
an augury for the year
December’s falling

the moon’s reflection
casting her form on the lake
a wolf steps softly

Fatigue has found me
Through my resting elbow and
my head on my hand

cold pastel colours
the heliacal rising
a quiet morning

Big Red Desert Waves
the rippling arid sand dunes
An ancient sunset

within the layers
unwrapping the cabbages
sea salt sparkling leaves

within the wildfires
Their hopes and dreams turned to ash
The Banksia sings

blur of the morning
too much sun in my old eyes
the crisp spring winds move
