Larapinta Drive, Northen Territory.
Estranged by Greeks and Romans
no place amongst the gods,
your face is pocked and riven
where we’ve plucked and scratched and gouged.
You’re tired, even slowing;
but here, coupled,
entwined beneath your sun,
I hear you gently whisper,
“To me you will return.”

Poor Earth, with no place among the gods and her face ‘… pocked and riven / where we’ve plucked and scratched and gouged’. I love the lines:.
‘entwined beneath your sun,
I hear you gently whisper,
“To me you will return.”’

That’s beautiful. There is something about the outback that makes us so acutely aware of our place in the grand scheme of things. Your poem captures that feeling very well.

A great poem, Paul! This reminds of the Gospel every Ash Wednesday “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

Yes, and also the funeral service, a reminder of our physical end and our short time – a need to appreciate nature more fully.
