Glossy Black Cockatoo

Feathers as black as the night sky
Red tail coloured blood
Wide glossy wingspan
The glossy black cockatoo
Eating the Casuarina pods
Broad bill
Tongue manoeuvring tiny seed
The glossy black cockatoo
Looks for love that never ends
The glossy black cockatoo
No more tree no more than a myth
Once the screech was heard rain was to come
The glossy black cockatoo
The dance is dying the earth is crying
Black glossy cockatoo
