1121

genius of the market

for  a field guide to Australian clouds

let’s talk the sky up

it’s blue

(comes in the latest colours)

consists of material thinner than heaven

here are the numbers we’ve run

(rapturously high)

there’s traffic

all directions

comes full circle

this sky’s like clockwork

(or later we might say steam-driven)

it’s a map

and look

your islands are gone

sky is gossip

rainbows are rife

trees stand up to

in branches bats hung

clear nights

it’s astronomical

no one can see so far

(though past performance is no indication)

dusk was all unnameable insects

storms of cloud

disperse in the end

it’s faster

than any lapse of attention

but some days

you could paint its picture

lie still under

buried for air

we box in again

there is just

this one leaf to tell

and oh

but it’s falling again
