improbable romance 10
dazzled in glades and blue
with aviation grade
kerosene streaming
with the grey of distant
mountains trailing mist
effortless among eucalypts
a powdery green cuckoo
clips dips brazen along
blades then tangled in the snare
of your lurex blouse
the bird in your heart bleats its
sudden vernacular
in rarified air
