farm road bluegum and pine avenue

gridgate flooded shut rusted storehouses

wind pump collapsed stone walls

deserted settlements in the distance dilapidated farm school

broken border wires midday clouds building

overgrown orchard mutilated apples

burst dam khaki-weed cocklebur

blackjack old mulberry tree plovers

owl droppings under the slaughtering tree iron harrow in the cat-thorn

pepper tree shade karee shadow

quince avenue a wild rose hedge

chicken coop poles gaping gate

and the house someone is still living in the house in the morning walks

out into the yard and raises her hands like gold pomegranates
