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)

Change ~ for One Single Impression

Hurricane John nears Baja, California, moving north-northwest at 8 mph, with sustained winds near 110 mph. ~ posted on Chaotic Utopia

Sunglasses and hat
He feels masked, cool and shady
Trapped in my nightmare
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Limp dress and bare feet
Running with fear in her eyes
Captivates his dream
~~~~~~
Chameleon night
Yearns for the changeling of day
Eternal circles
~~~
Hurricane laughter
Harsh swirling winds of torment
All crunch into dust
