a note
a note folded and placed, straggly grass
farm stretches to the broad river
with gold carp
a maroon barn
bones jut
high on the hill
early summer
blackbirds in the flame tree
dangling worms
note gives directions to a treehut
climb
from up there
on sturdy bough
a good sense of the farm
from neighbour’s fence
sky
to far-flung harbour
treehut scrawled with writing
aphorisms
taunts
youthful camaraderie
