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)

It's raining on my landscape ~
The garden is a blur of broken fences
And fallen leaves
~
The window ~
Fragmented with tears
And eerie
Liquid
Shapes ~
Is only
Partly
Open...
Partly
