for Sally
We stand together
our yellow coats
a welcome contribution
to the outback palatte
of red earth
and Mitchell Grass.
Two people immersed
in the descending
language of rain
one
having the time
of her life.

did you have lifeboat hats on too?
it’s like a photograph!
Sounds as if you weren’t having a good time in the outback.
its hard to say what this poem did, but i felt a childlike wonder contrasted with a somber feeling
and liked it a lot
A fun poem – simple and lovely
Did you mean to spell palatte like that?
