A harsh westerly
wind blows outside
my window.
Reminding me that,
wherever you are
in Australia the
desert is never
far away. The dust
from the centre
brought by winds
from north, south
east and west,
permeates our
garden, house,
enters our lungs,
becomes part of
us in the way
stardust from distant
explosions becomes
part of us.
