night breeze dusts the stars
and sighs among the she oaks
along the river
*Kadaicha Man treads moonlight
where feather feet leave no trace
* In Australian Indigenous Culture, Kadaicha Men
are spirit beings who are custodians of tribal law.
a hairy nosed wombat
forages in the moonlight
along the creek
I sit this summer evening
listening for the mopoke’s call
