The walk home – Rocla provides shelter if needed.
Emu Plains Station
Decision time.
Walk? Call?
Perceptions flavoured by alcohol
Walk!
Motor skills numbed – I’m done.
Before me, the beautiful matrix
Of covered resting places.
The beautiful matrix of covered resting places
I rest,
Dream of the clay-pit & clay pipes
Craned, positioned, connected, buried.
Sleeper awakes
Inches below surface, miles from escape.
Forever subterranean.
Just dreaming, Phwew!
Sleeper, Awake! … before it’s too late.
