Creation at Taronga, (Australia)

Almost unseen, as vaporous portent
the creator comes
to draw his milky orange, dusk cloak down.
The slowly changing scene departs
behind stark black fingers in the glow
as muses gather,
the blinking lights and twinkling expectant eyes
look up.
In momentous incandescence
the sky erupts and spills electric rain
above our tears and beckoning call.
Warm hands clasp
and easy kisses bid goodbye another year.
