Perth

By Cameron Taylor



Notes
Summer set grass crunching underfoot
Leaves disguised as autumn
Let up by the thunderous heat
To smell is painful
But eucalyptus soothes
And my skin meets the breeze
With a hopeful longing
Only to find an uncomfortable touch

The nastalgia of this feeling
Lives on in me deep
Waiting for the whistful doctor of the afternoon
Salt sprayed
No time to be
No place to travel
a comfortable discomfort as such

I long for the lostlessness
Few coins limiting the day
But expanding the pursuit of simple pleasure
Time with friends
Potent and lengthy
Only to diminish with age
As to responsibility we clutch

Driven by purpose
Meaning well but lostlessness less
More coin but more wanting
Less time but more wasted
Spiralling towards something
Driven to find our way back
To where we might
Truly feel
Summer set grass
Crunching underfoot.
