CORAL HULL: IN THE DOG BOX OF SUMMER
NO - COUNTRY

5.35 a.m. - the sun setting
the wind drops chilled
to the bone sweating
- this land steps into a cold grave
can hear the desert night moving in
- this open womb is weeping & cold
can hear the windy voice of twisted trees
arcing in leagues of die-back - stubborn
red stone refusing to budge or break
somewhere a lost marsupial shrieks - then still
can't seem to reach its trail
                              its essence
the scent of its sweat glands
- blood of this soul
those who are gone/ faces in stone
families embedded in histories of soil
drink in the blood of this no-country
- be fearful to touch this body
the sun setting/ chilled to the bone
vanishing into no-country alone - close my
mind breathe like stone - the
sun setting - sweating
who said this desert was burning?
my blood is frozen
