Robert Verdon, #170, Black Mountain Latin


feeding the wattle-birds
my father loved, two
old folks who walk
up the mountain

cold wind and scarves
shawls and beanies
such dedication
amid the decrepitude

Café Floresco
Botanic Gardens
where Dad once worked
and bright as a cemetery

winter dirge
in every label
the wallaby bush
drenched in Latin.
