Jayne Eggins Poet Blank verse

Across Dingo Tracks

my heart
weeps of this lifetime
we shared, and as 
no repetition or Déjà vu
can follow


I watch 
each memory pass
and my chest aches,
with all the smiling faces
whose love, 
is lifting you on your way 


my soul is forever 
sealed in the blood 
that reared and pressed me
against the breast
of the Canis lupus dingo


I now walk alone 
a white speck,
on red dust 


and my howl
rises to echo, 
the night

James Fraser October 3, 2010 at 5:59 AM Such a bad name the Dingo's received in the baby case a few years back. These canines are Australia along with the indigenous and native species. All others are but guests. I do hope they look after their adopted home > excellent writing piece Jayne >> James :)
