Sydney
Lying on a beach in Sydney,
scorched and sore in the dry heat,
the sand burns my toes.
I wander back to drizzly days in Leitrim,
when I paddled in my wellingtons
in puddles on the farm where I grew up.
Here rain seldom falls,
and only in quick downpours,
I long for soft days and misty rain
to moisten my face.
