New Zealand/ Nature’s Omelette | Avie Williams

Fallen pohutukawa flowers
Saffron on the fried earth.
The sun is the egg
a yellow circumference…
A pinch of black seed
and a tablespoon of light rain.
The lemons fall from the tree
with a sprinkle of parsley…
Nature’s blossom weaves a fabric
Together like whitebait patties…
Cooking slowly
The wind whisks together
All summer day long…
Turning once white/golden
when the sun is beaten and left to run
too late in the scorching heat.
Flipped over underneath the folds
The crimson blossom burns
towards the end of season…
