In January at Murrayville

Only the river moves;

Sky quivers with its weight of sun:

Noon heat cracks wattle seeds.

But in the Grampians, at dusk,

Before young rats come out,

You walk with clouds caught in your hair

Past ghosts that cling to rock.

O Desert,

One vision of wildflowers in five years

Is not enough.

In the Big Desert there is a silence that welcomes you

But if you stay

You find the other silence that fits your head inside a vice.

There is an excellence

In going up to Minyip for a month in summer

And gazing at a field of sunflowers one afternoon

While reading the Parmenides:

The stranger we call Being

Makes patterns in wheat fields before dawn,

And iron tanks, set deep in earth,

Say the few, simple things that must be heard.
