Parched blades sway indolent
A burning silken backdrop
Aurora demands our attention.

As wisps of the Waratah
Permeate the sickly scent
Of Jacarandas wilted.

This Summer's leaves shrivel
Magnificence esoteric
My eyes transfix on you

Kangaroo Paws occult
Craving and begging
With palms outstretched
They call alms for your touch
