Cockatoos fly home 
earlier than yesterday - 
the smell of Spring rain

Cloudless twinkling sky 
Cockatoos snuggle to sleep 
Scent of eucalypts

Yellow-tailed black cockatoo

Evocative skies
Spread over with mournful cries
Touches of yellow

In translucent clouds  
Spring's final breath caresses
Warm embers of light

Ancient rain

So blue and wet 
the mountains remember 
the ocean

Sunset clouds arouse
memories from another Spring —
Sit with me, old friends
