desert
in my shoe
a grain of sand
dusk
after the heat of the day
a sigh
rust
on the bench
a century of tools
empty hayshed
old harvester
collects cobwebs
clouds
swell and gather
the smell of rain
hibiscus
flower unfurls
unbuttoning her blouse

camp oven-
above the trees
splintered moon
Telegraph Hill-
a line of boabs
lead away
Mistake Creek
one lane bridge
dismantled
passing Mabel Downs
the smell of ash
returns
fenced
the ancient well
dry
moon shine
under the pergola
grape juice in plastic cups
