birds natter-flit-hop
through scrub corridors to cliffs
trees gnarled by wind
larger birds rise on roaring air
weathered, I turn to the sea
Bunurong Coast, Vic
Gondwana time-slips
with Bunurong tides
families walking rock flats
for traces of extinction –
a child feels for her pulse
The Caves, Bunurong Coast, Vic
