Sunday south east coast NSW Australia
first day of lockdown
I tell the magpies
spread the word
flocking together is banned
a tilt of the head
a quizzical look
throat opens and a ripple of pure sound pours forth.
I tell the bush rats they have to leave
we are only allowed five visitors or is it none?
hard to keep up with “The Rules”
too bad they answer
stealing another cake of my homemade soap from the washbasin.
gosh not much interest in the forest
no social distancing in the bottle brush
forget sanitiser
and masks look plain ridiculous on birds
so…….
a human only affair then.
the hills rivers clouds in the sky
continue Being
the raven flies across the valley
calling out
frogs at the dam chorus rain is coming
next door Warren and the tractor are busy.
how many realities are there?
what if there is no one size fits all?
what if it is a mosaic of brilliant orchestrated pieces
interconnected in a design we are unable to fathom?
what if this moment of breath is what we own?
And what if we are co-creating this lockdown drama?
what then?
the peach blossom acknowledging spring is here.
the faerie embassy 
Not another cake of soap gone Sandra.Someone is having a jolly old bubbly time!

I really need to make more ; they are big fans.
last night they threw a tanty and chewed up lavender flowers on the kitchen table because J had closed off one of their entry exit holes in the pantry.

I met a young python in the lemon verbena just come out of the roof and we had a serious chat about the bush rat business – seems like it was over them too.
