Too hot today for anything
Except a walk at sunset
Grass has turned yellow
On the lawns overnight
Clouds of flying insects
Pestering us
Lizards in and out of
Concrete cracks
Bull ants frenzy moving nest
Aggressive and busy as usual
Ducks and water fowls
Still active and keen
To get the bread
Thrown over the bridge
Heavy clouds over the mountains
Promise of cooling rain
Tomorrow or the day after
Whatever it will be welcome
Overpowering smell
Of cut hay in the paddocks
Christmas lights switched on
As the night descends
Creating illusory displays
Only the odd dog being walked
Silent cooling walk.
