'Australian February'

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

February is the hottest month,
breeding nothing but anaemic grass,
struggling through earth shiny as a skull.
The taste and feel of cool has melted
like those memories that taunt a mind
afraid of age. A carapace of sweat
coats anyone who ventures out.
We pant like dogs shrinking in the shade.
