Kitsch Postcards
Australia's Australia.
Australia is. I am
an Australian. I am.
Is. an Australian.
Lucky, sunburnt, kangaroo, koala, wombat.
Young, possible, Sydney Tower, Kmart, satellite.
Tough, courageous, Gallipoli, pioneer, the land.
Easy going, carefree, beach, sun. Future
pacing the edges of,
maps, souvenirs,
an order, undecaying, of
ownership, sense and law.
space, youth, gold. sea.
the cities are gutted,
there's edible sky,
and pieces of Luv,
great chunks of it.
pioneers and their noble savagery.
their picturesque slaughters.
their beautiful photography.
Backs to desert, eyes to sea.
A witness to my visibility.
suns flare in the navels of the sunburnt.
Europe, New York and north west gravity.
the sky empties,
moves into ice like an
archaeologist and its pet dinosaur,
bright furious blue.
the white.
the rock at the lip of coast.
the white.
with backs turning, eyes to the desert.
