Karri forest, Pemberton, Western Australia
This morning, I fished the sun
out of the darkest sky
reeled it up high
reeled it up high
birds silenced mid-song
flowers unfurled, paused, then bloomed
deep in karri country
the gum trees
whispered like the sea
debris crunched
under my feet
lifted on air, unaware
that perfumed cloud
returned me
a dawn bird
