bombed in...

Old MateI have this burning desire
To find old mate
I want to sit
And chat with him
Under a Gum and setting sun
About what has come
And what has passed

Along the wallaby track
Signs of danger

Gospels are lost on a god
words are never hidden
under rocks
unturned stones
for the hiding
Poets caress swords
a legend firm in their hearts
undrawn they hold it out
