Yeperenye notes

last night, by the falling waistcoat
                 of a half-caste desert moon
discreetly, deliberately
                 i heel away from somnolent flutes
water-coloured caterpillars and testaments of olde
                  \
into a floral jar of untitled clay-pans and annotated spinifex
                 inhaling burgundy stained pages of handwritten riverbeds
silently, incessantly
                  quilling louvered hours of jaundiced memories
                  \
by the rising ceremonial seas of ante meridiem
                  echoing curlews ribbon my desiccated tongue
mirroring speech
                   if only occasionally
quite lucidly, most insanely
                   i delight in the sweet palm of darkness

Note: ‘Yeperenye notes’ was written as a poetic cultural observation of the mountainous sleeping caterpillars - Yeperenye - (Western Macdonnell Ranges), which surround the shell of Mpwernte (Alice Springs). It drips with the chorus of a psychoanalytical poetic approach through ascending language of past and present. The existence of being throughout the ticking of time from sunset to sunrise.
