Cigarette
butt
Blends into
the Ochre pitts
Like a modern accessory
To ceremonial
dance
Riverbed
stones
Remind me of
island beaches
Hidden secrets
of past floods
Hide in
underbelly crevasses
Dry
riverbeds
Resonate with
spirits of elders
Men and
women who understood
This landscape
– wild and free
Salt
encrusted ground
crunches
under our unforgiving steps
How does
life exist
Under this
merciless sun?
Majestic mountain
range
Rises high
above our vista
Drawing our
eyes to eagle flight
Soaring and
gliding on unseen drafts.
