Found Poetry #2

In the milky mangrove the Australian man sat
twiddling' his thumb, exploring the uninhabitable island in his mind,
homesick and love starved for basking on ice floes.
His Finger Cherry quotes Dickinson
'Tis not that Dying hurts us so-
'Tis Living-hurts us more
The linguistics of her hypnotic Angel's Trumpet
oscillating between poetics and gun fire.
The tall Tansy Mustard growing tall as sunflowers
shake and sizzle in the Autumn wind
tapping against the Victorian window pane of her kitchen
thirsty for condensation
desperate to touch where the Waxwing slain himself
and impetuous.
