coal dust storm in wollongong
this low lying brown sky
is thick and like mud breath
i cannot even walk here
its spitting dust into my eyes
and my skin is coated
like a mix master beater
in oil black rock particles
this place makes me wish
for shades of blue and green
there's a dust storm in my baby's cradle
black blankets in my dreams
the cat is swaying blind
the dogs all chatter in the grime
in this twlight of dust
the sky is screaming |
