BUSH BURNING

The entwined road told stories

Lovers and enemies on the same lorry

Baring their minds on their foes folly

Their hurt and their machineries



The loudest chirp on the road

Spoke volumes of the goad

The toads spoke endlessly about the load

The empty road dropped on their toes



On the other side the brazen forest

All ash, lost gardens, lost fields

Our myths and superstitious meals

Have been offered in prayers to the gods



The bright burn stained our eyes with blood

while our warriors are banded with hordes

Of bandages, while we settle for a different hut

starting from were we never thought we hurt
