Kit Kelen #76 - I met Wallaby 1 on Day 2 – Tuesday

I met Wallaby 1 on Day 2 – Tuesday

in a forest clearing I am

under these trees

and seeing through tops

grey patching

in the bouts of blue

look down

roots spidered

as never before

a web is its world

something science fiction

first foray to see

where soil's making today

thud paws and turn

wallabies rife here

tamer than ever

barbed edge

by beer bottle seat

that's neighbours

neatly trimmed

where we've

gone to grazing

like kids on a road sign

making for cover

Wallaby 1 and Wallaby 2

retreat to the place beyond

grass goes to dusk

night comes on bright –

Jupiter and four moons

(in the Zhuhai table-scope)

all in corners of my wilderness

Wallaby 1 and Wallaby 2

it's they who must have led me home

here to the place beyond
