Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Old shed at Dromana, Mornington Peninsula
~
To a new generation
It is just
A peeling past ~
Like blurred
Ruptured landscapes
Discordant with
New lifestyles
~
But for someone
It is still
A sacred
Glimpse of
Some Eden
Still breathing
Somewhere

Fire and Ice

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Ice outside and fire inside
~

Today was a day of fire and ice
~
Frozen shards of water
Tumbled relentlessly
~
The only tender light was
Inside ~
A fire
Struggling to flame from
Damp wood
~
Like a war of Natural wills
And humanity can only sit by
Helpless
Shivering
~
