The Ninth Wife


      Greedy vine spirals smother monoliths 
      Spider fern moss, fairy forest vertical
      Soaks in secrets, promise admonished


      Water trawled crevice, creek cervical
      Church canopy arch angel honours 
      Wing finger cool fires praise prancing 
      Laser selects sections, bark polished
      Licked by flitting demure madonnas

      
     Eight afore taped to trees keen tropical 
     Each fresh capes the chapel innocent 
     Suckers strung hearts hung over tendrils 


     Hundred year hardness rots, wet spent
     Mighty trunk rips open room charcoal 
     Doorway discloses disaster clandestine 
     Bluebeard’s bride wives winding sparkle
     Shon hopeful on nymph number nine




              3rd of July 
         Daintree Dancing
