Muse by the Darling River (sketch)
Under muddy skies
the river glances
at the belly of a pelican
skimming cloud mirrors
A heron glows
en pointe on weed
pirouettes and dips
for fish
An ant
scurries across my page
escaping my poetry
later the sun will dip
into red gums
stretched languidly
among moody cows
and fish will splash
teasingly at birds
sailing through the sunset clouds
