I'd like to report that dinner last night went off very successfully and there were no disasters with my rather ambitious menu!
This weekend I'm getting out of Broken Hill - the key to survival round here. A small group of us are going to Mildura, a slightly bigger town about three hours away (across the desert). Should be nice. I have seafood on my mind.....it's not on the coast, it's on the river Murray, but still closer to the port cities than BH....
Living in BH is generally OK. I like small towns (for short periods - being a city girl at heart) because it's a great chance to join a community. I have been doing night classes - painting starts again next week - and have become quite an active member of the Sunday writing group, which next week will once again be performing poetry at the community markets.
More poetry then:
Day into Night
Waves like heartbeat
drag on the shore
pulling my thoughts
to you
The sun will slide
into the ocean tonight,
melting in a final splash of fire
in water already dreaming
Cold sand sifts my feet,
the unseen boom of sea
taking up your rhythm
of life
Tomorrow as I stir
from sweaty sleep
the sun will return,
lighting a world flowing
with you.
