Shootout
after Sydney Nolan's Ned Kelly paintings
home-made suits of armour
protection against assault in the outback
now unseen through the window
grey dog
the sea laps
so with eyes closed
ear pressed to wall
the other senses laid out on the table
it's as bleak as you want to make it
then from the radio
barbs reach out
bullets fly
some will get through
burning holes
fierce sun
clear blue sky
