‘White Over Red On Blue’

(After Tony Tuckson)

After the epiphany
A rope for climbing

I move into the treehouse
Home among the leaves

Corellas and cockatoos
Titanium white

Graceful vapour trail
Graceful vapour trail

Talk about the Titanic
How many lifeboats?

After the epiphany
I’m seeing double

Flash flooding Northern Rivers
Nowra red alert

A fire breaks out backstage
A clown informs us

A rope for climbing
A rope for climbing

Talk about the Titanic
How many lifeboats?

After the epiphany
Graceful vapour trail

Blue dress waist-deep in the snow
Mother of Mercy

Some days it feels too heavy
Some days it’s lonely 

I’m seeing double
A double portrait

Talk about the Titanic
How many lifeboats?
