Thomas, you were one of the first poets I discovered on Substack - Iām glad I did, love the poem.
Thank you, Damian- thatās such a wonderful thing to say. I always appreciate your poems about Australia too!

I've been waiting for your new poems! And of course these furred buds are dropping everywhere now.
