Clouds

Jack watches over the campfire

sees her joy in belonging

hears her laughter in language

her eyes like stars

her teeth like moon

her lips passion

the old man performs

a love dance for Ruby

there is no doubt to his intent

the old dancer’s eyes

make Jack scurry back

to the river house

in the silence he feels

the old man’s eyes

scouting from clouds

Jack sits with reality

Ruby will always be a gem

he will always be a miner!

Shame

in her teenage way

Ruby teases the old man

I don’t want you!

she feels secure

among the women and children

enjoys their daily gatherings

the old dancer is annoyed

unused to rebuffs of this kind

he shakes his boomerang at her

after in the still of night

he crouches outside the river house

listening to their murmurings
