B. R. Dionysius upcoming poetry news!

(ix) Ned Kelly

Nolan got it right, his mind/armour split. His “My God it’s full of stars” visor twinkled.

Historical mischief, stringy barks’ cat o nine tails skin, bad sunburn peel, bright red police redder. MAD MAX counterweight our Ned the bush warrior, pre-bitumen, disc brakes ignorant letter writer, 44 kilos of cultural burden. What if Bryant wore a helmet too?

There’s a little bit of Ned in (you).

Kelly’s last view; dull coloured time let in holy light, touch wood his beam killer.

Eyelashes scratched at hessian cloth, on the hill yobbos gawked, bluestone stood.

                                    It all ends through visor-cam.
