Small as only a middling
large dog, on a hike atop the great
dune sea in Croajingalong,
I once watched my father lay a turd
……….in a hole in the sand,
enormous, bigger even
……….than his penis.
Scene so clear
……….in memory – that obliterating
white light, crawling spiked
scrub turned black by contrast,
kilometres of wind-waved
……….sand upon sand
before the distant rind of ocean
……….and in the hole, starkly
………………..black-shadowed, that
……….glistening truncheon.
