the days subsides,
with adoring colour
and the racous choral,
of retiring lorikeets.
we sit upon the deck,
cold bevvies in hand
and watch the master
painter at work,
over on the mountain range
the clouds gather.
ben, laconically states,
"storm tonight"
and yes that smell,
so wonderful,
sits heavy in the twilight air.
petrichor, heavy on the eucalypt, ****** beer,
and warm tar....
the smells of a stormy,summer afternoon.
