Between spinifex and spear grass

I dream of the ocean most of these days. Thoughts drift of stone ranges, over red sand and settle on the warm currents and misty air. Float down through storm clouds and onto the land.

Between spinifex and spear grass I am tangled. Caught by burrs on either side. Country calls so loud the voices overtake each other, and silence becomes a dull low purr.
