Hydrangeas.


The New World.



Out in the Old West beyond

Before the gangstas, but now.

Paddocks of rye and clover

Tidily fenced with six wires and

One barbed.

Willow in the lows and big night macoracarpa

Along the boundaries.

Pitiless sun.

Through a sharp gap in the dull trees

Two paddocks

One greener than the other

A big black bull stands in his own shadow

The white tip of his tail flicking.
