nor-wester
whips the red gum crowns—
fire weather
Kent Robinson
after the fury
a koala clings
to an unburnt branch
Tracy Davidson
bushfire wind
the sky streaked black
with cockatoos
Louise Hopewell
an echidna
with nowhere to go
blackened landscape
Ingrid Baluchi
burnt into
this timber town’s memory—
bushfire moon
Lorin Ford
lightning strike
the hills licked clean
by flames
Tom Staudt
Echidna Tracks
