The Noble Rider and the Sound of Words

Let our winged creatures be of composite nature;

a currawong & dugong—our chariot, a sweep

of suburban Brisbane, let’s say north of Fortitude

Valley where a bacon and egg creek snakes under

the spaghetti junction, our charioteer: a composite

woman or a woman composed of nature—the creek

perhaps, the spaghetti junction, but most likely

erect on Skyring Terrace humidity sticking to her feathers

any number of thirteen ways.
