THE HURT   

 

... Way out West

Where

The spinifex

Grows

           The salty

           Sun

Sits smack

            Bang

In the middle of

            The road

 

 

 

ETERNAL ORDER    

 

Because you once wore

My life

In your eyes

... I’ve learned

The difference

Between

Love

       And

            

Hunger –.

 

 

 

THE BRIEF 

 

Sometimes – all the moon

Wants

Is to

 

Let down

Her hair

Into

 

The “River

Of

Time.”
