1358 
first snake of
the season 
18.ix.19
stubble narrow 
belly down 
I waited for your
vanish
which you duly did 
not much pond 
but more beside
reminding me to slash 
to watch where I am
going 
think garden and
serpent 
rain conjures me out in
little fellah yet
nothing but tail to
stand
could strike like spring
and coil
all can be 
elsewhere minded 
here’s breakfast kooka
missed 
A to B hunting 
and frogs watch out! 
quite unfairly 
I thought of the prime
minister 
how good is analogy, I thought
goes around and comes
how good is death 
how great that a moment
is passed 
 
Oh if only a kookaburra would swoop into the chamber and grab the PM into a huge maw.
