Martyrs of Hell
flames crossing bound’ries
intense freedom rains terror
stirring living hell
the outback’s furnace
drying up tears — bottled up
water thirsts for life
warm hands wait for the ejection of koalas, kangaroos and kin. standing guard with cool plastic ready to pour forth mercy into parched throats - forest dwellers seek human kindness, no longer threatened by strangers, welcoming their treasured hope.
