103

some vignettes

(a poem in stations like the land)

out of the little dew that fell

or last night's slight shower

everything glistens

jewels to the tip

now the sun's yay high

*

wallaby leans

with the land

crouches

ears to the near

and far

bends to turn

but stays

and still

when I blink

s/he's gone

*

the farmer has too many friends

and long before the invention

of velcro

*

showers

when least expected

courses of water

await

*

in the gloaming

loose boots of galosh

so toes require

now age deforms

eyes are apt

to half light

now the distance

bears them off

*

the poem

joins dots

but never

with straight lines

there has to be work

later on

*

under a roof

of my own device

in the weather

as it comes

among friends

and as country

welcomes

the reasons

for rejoicing
