The Goanna

.
gloomy, grey and humid
thunder rumbling ominously
Cyclone Yasi's affects 
felt thousands of kilometers away

a Summer of destruction all over my land

I search for a photo
to remind me of happier seasons.

A decent sized goanna
does the trick


that's how Summer should be!

and now a close up
(relatively speaking)


My brain's gone to sludge
my get up and go, got up and went

It's time to get out in the bush
smell the eucalypts and humus

load the panniers
escape for a while

Clear the cobwebs!
Stretch the limbs!

And avoid close encounters with the wildlife.

Definitely alive, but moving too slowly for my liking.
But in the right direction!
