Susan Hawthorne #8 pigeons in response to Lizz Murphy

disguised as fruit
you can hardly see them
Davidson plums or lilly pilly
among the leaves
a rustle of whispers
is all you’ll hear
from the wompoo

each day on the beach
with dogs
Torres Strait pigeons
head for the islands
on the horizon
as I watch
they diminish

specks of invisibility

  1. Enjoyed visiting this poem again. 'among the leaves/
    a rustle of whispers' so good and the sense of distance and departure.
