the tv’s off
the tv’s off
reflected in the bottom right hand corner of the screen’s
a candle flame
beside which dark beings absorb
in the convex distance
a blackwood table on which they know
a conical bowl of turned myrtle
on an aluminium tripod
is filled with the brown spheres of
macadamia nuts
and behind it
through the vertical blind
vague eucalypts
the distant
estuary
the sky
