Sarah St Vincent Welch #5 Travelling



Travelling

you turned my day
to dreams
with poems

I woke last night
in light
to thunder
a closing door
fell back, to shadows
we travel 

our friends sing the rain
they warned us
laughing
just how much they’d sing

driving on
through hill country
lichen stones
yellow paddocks
Midnight Oil

police tape laces
a car body
three blunt trucks stop
at a shoulder

in Cooma Café
a map of Anatolia
in pale blue and yellow
apricots and Apollo
the whole wall
a morning

before the border
a herd of fat white goats
graze
we speed past
a broken church
and fields of solar panels
like a wide grey river

flowing upwards
