AS DUST SUNG / two
as you fly over the ranges
as the crow ranges under the clouds
as the kangaroo rearranges the grass
as sounds of afternoon gather among dust
as tree light moves
as shades become ground
as all arrangements settle and unsettle
as doors, paths, sing song
as you remember what you knew
as you renew what’s to hand in the night
