Small Life Horti-Cults: CHATS

Chats


Cut,
small,
wormy,
rotten,
waste spuds:
chats were bagged
or banana-boxed
onto the skid-standed,
truck-chassied,
3 ton tractor-trailer
till full.

Taken above
the landslip precipice
down the creek,
where, hand-tipped
like lotto balls, they
talk rot
to themselves
among the lucky
treeferns and winners
down wombat holes.
