Entropy

Entropy

Seagulls circle side the Lake

How high how low how high

They go

Red beaks Red feet White Wings

Cast shadows

Cross open water

Our slit eyes

Shell pebbled shore line

& squat beat bach

Sentinel

Set back, the scrappy bush

Adrift us

Shimmering through warm air

Rising

Seagulls circling

See

This is today tomorrow as

If only yesterday

The Light, the Sky, Water,

Burnt Macrocarpa

Raw Cicada singing over

The sound of

Seed pods

Fitfully popping

In the Eucalyptus heat

Swoop & flash

Circling gulls signalling
