Kookaburra’s Eyes

Australia, Australia.
Rustle of wings,
and a pair of eyes.
Burning gumtrees
and the kookaburra’s
mischievous cries.

UPDATE:

A new version of this poem is called

THE RED CENTRE

A rustle of wings,
and a pair of eyes.
Burning gumtrees,
mischievous cries.
A kookaburra laughing
at the red centre
of lovers and lies.
