emerging
through solid earth
wild violets
Maureen Edwards
the blaze
scorched into a ghost gum
Barry Sanbrook
a flash
of rainbow lorikeets—
sunset fire
Keitha Keyes
changing sky
the brittle gum from white
to blush
Jan Dobb
fog swirls—
a currawong out of nowhere
hops back in
Lorin Ford
magpie double flute
spring’s early echo
of midsummer days
