for three nights
the one cicada’s shrill –
waning moon
Lorin Ford
dingo song
the loneliness of
a desert night
Louise Hopewell
billabong
the whirligig-beetle
whirling to frog-song
Cynthia Rowe
ants scurry
across the laterite
the numbat’s tongue
Liana Joy
at the edge
of the latest freeway
two rock wallabies
Hazel Hall
the stop sign
of a shingleback
outback road
Marietta McGregor
Echidna Tracks
