Mulloway: A Tribute to Robert Adamson 28.1 Cordite

Cordite http://www.cordite.org.au/ has a great tribute to Robert Adamson as Issue 28.1.
I wasn't asked to provide a poem, but will post my own here, my own fringe tribute which is the first poem out from my ongoing collaborations with erica/erika, the now famous author of Issue #1 in the for godot project. And David, if you want to post this one, (as it's already on my blog and anything is up for free sampling these days) you don't even have to ask.

Hey Bird

Nights are emissaries, intruders to build over water

Talk is living out the darkness
and impulses eat truth and stones to silence

Keeping clings, a triumph dismantled, a glimmer
in a stand of interiors
throwing a sort of gold stain

A talentless gift is sadder
than this seeing

>>>

In abandoned storms, vexations concern
this drapping of water and satisfaction is a tin pail
by a low shore

In a fold of dawn, a narrative
to the outside sky

(Immenisity/a heart happening/in
still rise/a shine)

>>>

This installment/a caper
chanting immediate and sweet
wearing the unfaded grass as fine as wind that has arrived
puzzled

Shifting wider, soundless

>>>

A blue day, a daisy
a sun in play

Learn through the singing of bees
this bringing a mind into giddiness

And you shine as if you were strange

>>>

Teasing praxis, you are bold, mortal

In dipping forests wish breaks the bough

In a blue castle your travelling nature
is a babble, a song
