over Gillamatong
the grey breeze
takes on a dab of buttermilk
between fence strands
paddocks are floating
trees, dead and alive,
soak their feet
in granite pools
and the frogs let loose
a split hose of burping
your child crouches
vomit in the grass
little birds twitter patter
you can see the rain
cloud anglers, their
lines scratch the horizon
no fish here
but the cramped car waits
two wet cheeks
how incredibly lovely, Jo ❤

Loved the two wet cheeks, just made the journey home what a cramped car is like 🙂

love the imagery here: ‘the frogs let loose a split hose of burping’ — a whole new way of describing the familiar creek bed sound —
