I have my tail family

in a small collection out in the back

when the wind lifts them

through the creaks and crevices of

the shed

they whiffle and almost seem to keen

for the dead

here are two inter-related species

the West Indies variety horns and all

hobgoblins richly around and up the

Paramount logo

like Blue Mountain peaberry

the East Indies aubergine-hued type

crowns all with its withering sarcasm

beside the dusty road

the prize specimen is a turnout of

great splendor

very dazzling really

it is the very dreamtime manified

according to a variety of speaking

and the staple of my collection is

this changewort gruesome in

appearance

yet so commonplace
