The cards sidle in, singly,
in pairs - restrained, official
bonhomie in approved form
the clean and careful noting
of a generic season.
See here a star, any star
and here a fir tree reduced
to lines and angles, to Euclid.
This latest shows a landscape
unpeopled, temperate.
There is the pile for sending,
flat and arid as the rest
designed to avoid offence.
Now hand and pen vacillate
over a personal touch.
Canberra, 12 December
