Snap:
Autumn again in outer Melbourne:
park turf green again, the mowing tractor
shreds wide swathes, scattering also
the seasonıs wild mushrooms and
somebodyıs discarded sports pages.
Galahs (grey and pink parrots to you)
again at berries on the cotoneaster,
which our neighbour calls cotton easter.
The moon waxes towards Pesach,
which I still call Passover.
