Quiet

 I had to walk away

To find quiet

As day breaks

Cool air seeps away

The urban motor rider

Spews dust under tyre

Spreading noise

As dead seeds

Bobcat trucks patrol

Highway tar

Road trains move,

Rumbling, immodest beasts

Finally diversity

In grasslands

In places where buffel

(Blasted buffel grass)
Is controlled

With regular eradication 

I can hear the birds

Amongst quiet rocks.
