The Hard Facts

The Hard Facts

the rumble
of cantering cattle . . .
a kelpie's zigzag

two cockatoos
respond to the stock-whip

crows squabble
over a carcass . . .
the bank's ultimatum

sunset . . .
a landscape stretches
in the red

the hard facts
of jam on damper

campfire . . .
twin moons shining
from a mopoke's eyes
