project eden
By Meredi Ortega
displacement, only the is
isthmus collar barking fence
rufous bellied blue like it dropped from
the heart
low tides fur crossings the fret of
fox and salt
she sews a bilby costume
from leaves, dry earth ashamed, hides
woylie nests
tags creatures with a spray can in the night
shiftiness of sand and cat
that feral familiar
guts and scat convinced that
only the sky is easy and right
and some marsupials are dying on purpose
stocktake acacia, acacia, malleefowl
retracement, the wild
this time this only the
claypan, salt scrub thorny devil can stay
