1
are these fields
or a flatbed art
hemmed by mountains
these scatterings a sky
or a world above this one
a golden sunrise
a kneeling figure
ravines and temples
in clouds or speckled paint
2
a monstrous bird
on its side, beak
parting the black
collapsed caryatid
oblivious passer-by
3
the side of a silo
overcome by vegetation
4
an eye
or moon
in blue night
5
snow-melt
in the pastel's
upper corner
6
oil scraped off a landscape
the hill that fell off a wall
REVEALED!
As reported on Cordite News Explosion, despite our initial glee at receiving ten new poems by Ern Malley himself, we are humbled and disappointed to announce that this poem was in fact written by Laurie Duggan.
