Laurence de B Anderson Poems
Winter evening on the Monaro
Cloud-light shivers the crow to louvred grey.
Riding the fence,
...
On the open day
of grass and trees
Cic-cic-cicada
jack-hammers his summer
...
Against black oblong light,
anxious patient, held,
then with the doctor steps cautious into celluloid night:
into the smoke mirror hall.
...
Come run then, if you don't look back,
and remember the backs of tricking years;
so long, good years
and back-lit, half-remembered face
...
Factual grass wetting my knees
as I check the downland paddock edged by shifting brights.
The reactive swags of last willow leaves
is shoaling minnows over black nerves
...
The Best Poem Of Laurence de B Anderson
Winter Evening On The Monaro
Winter evening on the Monaro
Cloud-light shivers the crow to louvred grey.
Riding the fence,
he sleeks to emerald against a blowing sun
flexing dark shadows down the slopes,
clouds bubbling up from the hills,
didgeridoo navies,
each a bruise in its rind of light.
ranking them on endless wind.
The sun drops and suddenly concedes
to windless dusk.
Now a moth, you must fall
towards the willows
lit gold like dandelions in the dark valleys,
must hover with their soft inverted palisade
static pour of gold threads gently, gently
starring the earth,
while up there on the still-lit edge of time,
the tussocks are rippling in furry waves.
Diamond night!
And no whisper.
