I

Eucalypts spaced
r h y t h m i c a l l y
across far horizon - jive talking
small puffs of sage-green
pom-pom-ed along drumming
fence line.
Fingertips of sun-streamed-light
strokes downy heads
reads hidden braille.

Eagle dosados
with thermals,
wheels and turns,
allemandes
left,
promenades, then
weaves a delicate chain.

III

Three days of soaking rain.
Blackberry has looped and lassoed
barbed wire fence.
Wire does not resent tight embrace.
'Wrap arms and legs around me,
I see you have not shaved,
I quite like that.'
Blackberry huskily replies
'I have always found three days
of growth to be very, very sexy.'
