After Kata Tjuta

The sounds of the day
— Hammers, planes, expressway —
Are the breath through a didgeridoo,

And the way the palm fronds sway,
How the lemon tree leaves sparkle,
Is just dancing in the spiral of that breath.

We know it as listening, what we do,
And seeing figures move with the music.
The yard is on fire with reply.
