Snap - prompted by Robin's
My writing trousers
have ash marks on them
from sneaking-up close
to ibis at the waterlands
after autumn burn-off
of the dry reeds. My
camera flash
in the evening grey
frightens them to flight.
I click as fast as my camera
will allow - white smudges
against a grey sky. Now
my writing trousers
have Australian heiroglyphs,
black ash on blue denim,
homage to the surburban ibis.
