cause and effect
all woolly flanks turn in one direction
like slow motion tennis spectators
as a red ute draws dust idling
the long drive
then spooked by commanding trepidation
they hoof it down to the flats
pounding crackling debris
while grasshoppers click amongst
copper stalks
and cockatoos choreograph afternoon’s
echoing flights
affronted by kelpies controlling the run to
the yards and race
this orchestra is abruptly unplugged
the corriedales’ eyes resembling
large tombollers roll backwards
like mum’s when the old man gets stupid
nature’s tango
weaving natural laws of order through disorder
tapestries with connecting golden threads
spun effortlessly as falling leaves
