Banksia Men by Dinny published on 2016-06-20T03:51:59Z "We come down to the town and here you are to our surprise We float up high in a forest of trees mere skegs and stumps and twigs, a sort of family of woody heads and woody knees the night came down (we sang in threes) It opened our eyes, the darkness sees our heavy lids, our dark dark sea of night Our hidden mouths are born of night formed by the trees and the bees of love that’s how the banksia men were thought of and that’s how the banksia men were thought of we come down to the town and turn your blankets down We come down to the town where the lights are in our eyes."
