Blue Hills 1

. . . . dragon shape clouds over the national capital
Malcolm Fraser’s feet stick out the end of the bed

thick forest around Brindabella

eel-shaped reservoir & visible snow-caps
      then white cloud
            NOTHING NEXT 400 MILES
            continuous cricket pad

                  warm bread roll
                  apricot jam in foil rip-top package
                  black coffee
                              – avoid weird milk substance
                              in thimble-shaped container

hostesses in casual uniforms
            disappear into bombalaska
                                     a huge Mark Rothko painting
                                     whitens &
                                     turns into dumb Olitski

                  then it clears outside Melbourne
