The stench of the animals at my creek Unreached refuge Black trees,half naked in shredded rags of Black Two months since the firestorm Highs now lows Leaning across the chemist's counter Unkempt In borrrowed clothes Low Life moves on Neighbours too Friendhips severed by Circumstance, Death and Desire Anti depressants Please Sad, sore eyes Weeping still and no smoke to Blame. |

Yo dear Boshii2, You have expressed this very well. Australia is like that, it seems they are always recovering from a fire. I've spent time there during a burning year, I think it was about 1983 or so. Love Bobby |

I wanted to highlight all of this, since I couldn't exclude one line from another, all exceptionally interwined and dependant on each other. An impact of an ending (and I do love a power-punch) Well, wait a sec..this: "Friendhips severed by Circumstance, Death and Desire Anti depressants Please Sad, sore eyes Weeping still and no smoke to Blame." If there's an ink made from the dark circles of grief and loss, you just wrote this verse in it. I totally relate. |

Powerful and poignant... and so completely understood. I would have highlighted the same passage serenity did... it just hits... home (whereever that might be now) |

That is a very sad, heartfelt poem my friend but so true. I don't think anyone who has not experienced a bush fire can fully realize the terror that it creates for those poor people who get caught in one. I feel for you and all those other poor souls who have been affected by the fires on Black Saturday. I wish you better luck in the future. Lindsay |
