it's unlike any other!

There are we two
and as lovers often do,
we embrace
as our hearts intertwine.

Hands touch, accidentally
Short, deep glances by me, as she looks the other away
Be sure not to get caught

My vacuum cleaner’s broken, 
sits in the garage gathering dust 
Beside dad’s old green car,
oxidising an orangey rust
I tried washing it last week, 
and the water turned to wine
Well the colour miraculously looks,

To the very South
Through blistering desert heat
Staying
Just ahead
The flooding rains
Dodging Roo’s
