Day Two
VIII. SONGS OF SURVIVAL & EXTINCTION
2. Wildflowers At Bre
I haven't seen the wildflowers at Bre.
But I could imagine how beautiful
They'd be
Growing there
In the grey & red country. That's
If they weren't extinct.
Like the budgies
That aren't around anymore.
Or the robin redbreast
Gone before my time.
But dad remembers them lighting
Up the town.
I think the budgies will be back.
They have followed water somewhere
Inland.
I think as soon as it rains,
The budgies will materialise.
As if the water tells them to or in fact
That
They come from water.
Green
Budgies come.
Do not stay away long.
Come back soon to Brewarrina. |
