Kerthup pup whaaap.
Sound of scraping thick
tinder dry ribbons of pink bark
high on lemon-scented gum trunk,
dangling, doing the whip-wind
driven thing, then draping
curlily till the next gust.
Tricky, seeking to snap free
from home trunk cling.
Swirling visits attest
to ongoing attachments
in familiar territories. After
breakaway, how will it feel,
silently floating?
