AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Fridge Space ~ for Sunday Scribblings


Fridge space is that breath between the juices and the milk ~
It is that cheesy Tower of Babel
Willing stability ~
~
And down below
The vegies jostle for elbow room ~
~
Fridge space is only a vision
The hungry may enjoy ~
While the rest of us
Don't really want to sacrifice plenty
For growling space
Do we?
~
But then there is the ultimate fridge
South of most of our days ~
Where space is the chilled breath
Preserving the juices and milk of our very being
In a stiff semblance of living ~
Mini Towers of Babel
Struggle for warmth ~
And the very marrow of our being
Smiles wryly
Wishing for some ice melt ~
And knowing
Sadly
It may just come true ~
~
Won't it?
