Dot, dot, dot, dash, dash, dash, dot, dot, dot
your blooms like snowflakes wrapped in fairy floss, spotted on branchlets
your seed pods like eyebrows the colour of charcoal
Seed dispersal: fire triggers, gravity delivers, awaiting the rainfall
in your sandy sandstone understorey, you try to spread your species
flicker fairy lights, endangered Gordon Wattle
may your deep bright aura awaken us to your plight and survival
Dot, dot, dot, dash, dash, dash, dot, dot, dot.
