Open the flower
Load the camel
Kiss the lion
Trust the child
Dance your truth
Return the stone

(for Pam)
She said
of his passing
‘You know
nothing is seen to change
and yet,
everything does’
Later at the window
She spoke with the wind
Sharing her invisible
Sweetly to the end
Martinos @ 2018
Our words were mesmerised, unable at
each attempt to describe the end of day
the sun took its story – a spectacle of hues and
ribbons between gold fire and greyblack crimsons
beyond Wolumbin – reclining grandmother
crag head facing skyward – omniscient
pausing inbreath grandeur
Taking our gaze, the cloud hummers went westerly
tribal souls migrating in unison
their mentor and guide a following breeze
and curiously the stars appeared above them
as if flying in formation against the trend
missiles or satellites – not afraid – in awe
we saluted the spectacle – swaying in silence and wonder
