Kit Kelen #902 the shining - revised and expanded, following Jim's suggestion



902
the shining
there and back again


this is the weather
and wallabies come
they are lifted in mist
and hear the creek run

a few acres do

now charging

swampies splash ponding
they invent the first game
could do it every day

fence through light falls
then everything half rhymes
crooked in its coming still

you'll see the next door cattle
graze up on gum leaves
must be mistaken

then maidenhair
cabbage tree
ferns here to fish

I'm dry
now sight the dust inside

consider a fire for the night

drunk on acres
shrunk in the wash

the shining's in the bark
fresh lick

now charging

with heart leap thrills
of my own round track

and ho to the fruit ripe
last pumpkins still umbilical
but vines won't get away now

it's so many minutes past some hour or other
or could be leaning to

this is the weather
and wallabies come
they are lifted in mist
and hear the creek run

it's stretch forward
and all salute

gold falls over the land
nobody promised this

then a chimney takes up smoke

I'm here and I'd rather be here

takes smoke up chimney

nobody promised this

gold falls over the land

and all salute
it's stretch forward

hear the creek run
they are lifted in mist
and wallabies come

this is the weather

or could be leaning to
it's so many minutes past some hour or other

vines won't get away now
last pumpkins still umbilical

and ho to the fruit ripe
of my own round track

with heart leap thrills
now charging
fresh lick
the shining's in the bark

shrunk in the wash
drunk on acres

consider a fire for the night
now sight the dust inside
I'm dry

ferns here to fish
cabbage tree
then maidenhair

graze up on gum leaves
must be mistaken
you'll see the next door cattle

and crooked in its coming still

the everything half rhymes

fence through falls light
could every day do it

inventing the first game
swampies splash ponding

now charge
a few acres do
they are lifted in mist

and wallabies come 
 
this is the weather
