Australia, Girt by not just the blue ocean, but by it’s inner unknown sea. All red dirt and tufts of grass for the ‘roos to eat and the lizards to hide. A car drives past. At night the sky’s milky light from millions of stars above.
there a tracks in the earth
of red at this center of mine
under the milky black galaxy’s face
where the night owl’s pass the time
my country where the gravity pulls
hard and hot to Uluru’s place
there the never never lies sublime
ever in timeless endless space
