silt
where the river ran
bones bleaching
Gavin Austin
home plains drought
dust storms carry away
father’s farm
Marilyn Humbert
rear paddocks
etched with empty rills
. . . searing sun
Samantha Sirimanne Hyde
barbed wire fence
the blue feathers
of a Kookaburra
Jeanie Axton
cloudy morning
cattle egrets
await their herd
Irene McGuire
rural dawn
every long shadow
ends at a cow
Jan Dobb
