The Chantic Bird (2015)
“‘A sea breeze has come down.’ I’ll never forget that. I had borrowed one of the cars at the station quite early one morning, just after the worker who drove it got on his train to Sydney, and I took the kids out for a drive to the beach. And Bee. I don’t know what Stevo had been reading—he was like me, he started reading when he was young—but whatever it was, it had made him a poet. Those were his own, exact words. I didn’t make them up just so someone would say how clever he was. If anyone wan...ts to say how clever he is, they can go right ahead and say it. He is. I looked up where he pointed, and sure enough, all I could see was hills above us. It was a fine day all right, but the only birds I saw were birds, not mountains. I didn’t hear any singing. He remarked that a sea breeze had come down when we were on the beach and he was standing there wet, looking back at the dry sand and the hills beyond the traffic and the shops.
