Rain in Blackall

               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.

  1. did you have lifeboat hats on too?
    it’s like a photograph!

  2. Sounds as if you weren’t having a good time in the outback. ;-)

  3. its hard to say what this poem did, but i felt a childlike wonder contrasted with a somber feeling
    and liked it a lot

  4. A fun poem – simple and lovely :) Did you mean to spell palatte like that?
