eye contact
the magpie and I
connect
Quendryth Young
warm morning
chirps from all over
the paperbark
Lorraine Haig
forest campsite –
tripping over snout pokes
dug by bandicoots
Maureen Sexton
lace goanna
invisible against
grey eucalyptus bark
Linda Visman
my pet stick insect
disappears in the swoop
of a magpie
Keitha Keyes
the clouds part
a flock of shadows
skims over my feet
Julia Wakefield
Echidna Tracks
