Easily distracted

for Maree

Silvery gums
flourish on
            cliff edge.
Beneath overhang
of thin
swaying grasses
sandstone's
rippled
with blossoms

Entranced
I slip on a stone.
The soil is crumbly.
There are no safety rails here.
You have to watch
your every step
but I'm easily distracted
                by wildflowers
