The red rock
This sunburned country
It touches my soul

Stone Castles
Like a child
Stacking clay dollops
One by one by one
Building castles
In the sand
Stacking clay dollops
One by one by one
Building castles
In the sand
So too does Nature
Carve and weather
Heave and crumble
Building castles
Made of stone
Amber on Red under Blue
We rolled up to Devil’s Marbles in the heat of the afternoon, the sun high and hot, the gravel parking lot kicking up dust with every step. Too hot to unpack. Too hot to clamber over the enormous stands of neatly stacked, smooth-edged boulders. Too far from Alice Springs to move on.
There was a little breeze, a few roofed camping platforms, so we parked ourselves beneath one while the ’79 Holden Gemini baked out in the sun.
Revering the dead

Pic and a Word Challenge #2: Attraction
Zuhra noticed Tahir was still at his shop. She shuttered her own, the veils and headscarves already neatly tucked away for the night, and closed the clasp on the lock.

Above the steam
Hot red and orange
What once was green
Above the steam
Hot red and orange
What once was green
Some get the blues
They can’t condone
The forest stripped
To barest bone

All I can see is food
Like today, in this dry desert heat
With only the apples from yesterday
A can of baked beans, for a campfire dinner
And tomorrow morning’s apple-cinnamon oatmeal
