#2386 -- over the deserts, over the sea

 

2386

7.193

13.vii.26

over the deserts, over the sea

to Istanbul

 

yesterday was Cammeraygal Country

crouching in a cave to be out of the rain

a long list of things to turn off, to shut

 

now it’s desert and sea, islands like clouds

so many shades of sand –

grey browns, gypsum blinding

the orange, the violet

 

roads nowhere to nowhere down there

 

mountains just like we have on Mars

 

no sign of shade

no sign of movement

 

from up here you get a picture of time

 

there’s a blue you could boil off, war aside

 

everything’s sand or turning to sand

 

a day goes on forever

forever goes all day
