Bondi gulls
Enacted on the canvas canopy
A show in shadow
Black starfish feet are dancing
Soft shoe shuffle
Seagulls in silhouette
But on the grass, in prose
( Not poetry)
They dart and skitter, flat on fingered webs
Pursued by boys with glee
Cinematic cliche
The silent movie chase
18th February 2011, Bondi
I can see it, delighted to share some of your awe and wonder. x
ReplyDeleteGlad you do 'see' it Jude. Zach and another small boy of similar age just kept chasing and chasing and then cracking up in fits of giggles. No one giggles like our Zachy! ( Just realised that could be another inheritance from his granny and her mum and her nan! Dan was always in trouble at school for giggling too.)
