I live,
in the country
with dams salivating for rain,
their mouths agape and the wind sweeps them forever dry.
The scene is like the Sahara Plains
but peppered with ‘Stralia green gums;
a wellspring on how to survive,
wild-eyed.

I live,
in the country
with dams salivating for rain,
their mouths agape and the wind sweeps them forever dry.
The scene is like the Sahara Plains
but peppered with ‘Stralia green gums;
a wellspring on how to survive,
wild-eyed.
"Stralia" is a colloquial, endearing abbreviation for "Australia" used in Australian slang.
