donkey – peacock - goose
In the mouth of the river

every – thing - in flames
The sky with lightning

Six weeks old
Henrietta smiled for the first time
tail – habits – proof
instinct – that - moves

Europe - hides – wool

endemic - alpine - grooves
bread-fruit – cinnamon - tunes
Tonight it’s blowing
thick bodies of spray whirled across the bay
Whatever - might - have been
the cause - of the – retreat
