Nathanael O'Reilly #27 Cumbungi

Cumbungi

For Ross

Caught short
in the bottom
paddock
at the back
of the thousandth acre
he cacked his dacks
in the cumbungi
left a surprise
for the ducks
before beginning
the long walk home

    'Cacked dacks' is such a beauty of a saying. And I learnt the word Cumbungi. What a dramatic and pithy poem Nathanael. Thanks!

      Thanks, Sarah. A humorous departure from my usual fare. Had to relax my poetic muscles.

    with only an
    old mattock
    to cut burrs
    I would just
    daydream
    in the bottom
    paddock
    mustn't chop
    anything growing
    out of cow shit
    back to station
    socks of burrs
    clothes of seed
