Flying Lessons

In the air
above Lake Ellesmere
dark right-angled shelter belts
frame the parched paddocks
like dropped Allen keys

Rigid forms butting up
against the curving coastline

Solid and liquid separated
by a finger trail
of shaving crème

Dun, indigo, aqua, ash grey…

It that all it takes:
a flying visit -
For me to finally embrace
our national airlines
new corporate colours?
