different stories
brooding mist lifts
as pockets of light
luminate waters
sharp tailed metallic flight
wings cutting space and time
low frenzied circling
dunes to wetland
gulps of swallows
working as one
driving insects through
unsettled weather
fresh breeze rising
looming rain leaching
leaf and twig
inland pugged dams lay parched
red dust trails a ute of grain over
cracked terrain stretching far
and wide
waiting stock stand under
an eerie glow
dry acceptance
in tune with surrounds
will rain reach this time
or just menace minds with
dusty pockets
will it put food on tables
will it lift spirits
