The Clarence
Fishing boats float like waiting ducks
Tempting jumping mullet.
Overhead a snaking bridge sits in the sky,
Carrying noisy cars and trucks
Logs float by, sea drawn
The golden sun sets in the sky
Fish partying on the water surface
Bats fly in at island dawn
Jacaranda tree melting in the haze
Water reflecting-beauty itself
Ripples go through and wrinkle the jacaranda
And always a rainbow serpent remembers ancient days

Getting all tangled in line
Been poked from the hook
Catching and losing many
Only watching snakes or
Turtles stealing my catch
Ahh well, just keep fishing
Sweat in the evening sun
Spray on lots of skin-so-soft
To keep the mosquitoes away
Watching the evening dusk
Catching many a biting fish
Goin’ home empty-handed
