Trees

Black cockatoos range

How i love the banksia they feed on

And the lemon scented gum under the weight of lorrikeets

The blue gum with the scratch paths of ringtails

Angophora's curves and twists and glider sap feed marks

Bottlebrush and the honey eaters, the bumble bees, hoverflies

Paperbarks' swelling trunks and tangled roots and the perfume of cream flowers hanging

Profound moreton bay figs with giant limbs draped by flying foxes

Brother and sister trees

Macadamias' fringe of flowers the richest perfume and nuts to feed us

Mother and father trees

Holding the land protecting the understory creating worlds in worlds

Sorry we forget you are the lifeblood of so many beings

Sorry we cut you down with such little thought... irreplaceable and unique each and every tree

and each a home and life to be.
