Bosses advised
To leave their workers at home today
– wise things
all shifting into place.
Our only real job:
– to hold our breaths and wait
– to listen with esoteric care to
weather reports
to exhausted voices from command posts
– to app alerts, the local radio, the mayor
– and most of all the ABC
(God bless the ABC)
My other job today:
Stand by the front door (for we are safe)
And welcome in the neighbours and their pets
And anyone who lives a few streets closer than us
To where the wind rolls today
her flaming dice.
