Pedder Galaxias Pantoum – by Toby Fitch
ISLAND | ONLINE ONLY
Locked in your Lutruwita lake
Surrounded by sandy white beach
In search of invertebrates
Your galactic fins flit through tannins
Surrounded by sandy white beach
Green-brown skin like water
Your galactic fins flit through tannins
Around rocks, up tributaries
Green-brown skin as water
Heavily shaded, highly convoluted
In this rocky tribute
You plummet to the depths
Heavily shaded, highly convoluted
Among debris and vegetation
Who wouldn’t plummet to such depths
Head-long, strongly depressed
Among debris and agitation
Sky-hit by iridescence
Head-long, strongly depressed
Introduced trout just keep coming
Sky-hit by iridescence
In search of invertebrates
Introduced trout just keep coming
Locked in that Lutruwita lake
