Ngalyod Refracted

[billy]

Long time past and yesterday an age ago
the sparrows brushed the sky away
with browning wings. The summer arch the rainbow
collapsed upon the bloody soil,
and old ones dug in deep.. stopped being nomadic

The billabong has rippled long
beneath your limbs, red father. red eucalyptus/redgum
You were young and slender
when they walked
hide-sheltered feet deaf a moccasin type footwear
across her back. the earth

I am new, old one
and white as ghost gum dreaming. the bones of the bleached tree
Sorry-specked and sunburnt,
one foot ochre yearning,
one far cloud seeking. great images of wondering how life will be turn out

Long time come, you
thunder to me
and rain-washed parrots build akin to butterflies wings which start hurricanes
you with their wings.
Blood, soil, summer sleep and
rainbows:
Dream us one.

i think this is the 2nd Ngalyod based poem of yours i've read
or the same one. and bugger me if i forgot what i wrote last time


for me it's a fantastic glimpse/insight into the other side of the physical world and how both sides combine into one. a young mans experience in wanting to know what life holds. look at me me here i am come to me in dreams. i may have it all arse about tit but it's my take on the poem. all i could do was leave remarks of how i saw some of the images.

i couldn't fault it really, the enjambment in an odd place but i'm not sure that would work because of the colloquial feel to the language.

all in all a poem to match the last one of yours i gave feedback on.
i do realize that Ngalyod Refracted is the rainbow also known as the rainbow serpent
thanks for the read.
