Rob Schackne #751 - "The magpies swoop"

                 for Denis Smith

The magpies swoop
it's stranger day
two balls of cat
on the bed
hear each moment
the mystery
dream quietly

buried in person
the river flows
speaking is hard
though I pretend
the sky grows darker
winds are gathered
then the rain

  1. Swoop

    One day
    the police came
    to our infant’s school
    and shot the magpies at playlunch.

    They’d been swooping us.

    I thought about them lots after
    those babies in their nest
    high up in that gum
    starving.

  2. ah we hear them still
    so sad everything
    limited by their nature
    but no lack of witnesses
