364.1

just nudging 40

December 29

at Markwell via Bulahdelah

for Efi

under a ceiling fan

next to a standing fan

(thanks to the sun for powering these)

out of the pool

and under the sprinkler

please keep dripping, tap

ouch feet

back in the pool

watch dragon flies

defy the fire ban

the view is all despondent trees

a khaki sulk of a sough

feet finding a water table

punka-wallahs are much wished for

to see them sweat is cooling

everyone here hopes for a breeze

for a storm

for a rain of hail

from icy heavens

damp towel overhead

in the shower

time for a not-quite-cold bath

everyone's their own fire risk today

you'd think the folly of our fuming

evident to all just now

hasn't this sun had praise enough?

and won't night ever fall?

next door the mad mowing begins

beware what you wish
