South Country

After the whey-faced

Of river-gums and scribbly-gums and bush,

After the rubbing and the hit of brush,

You come to the South Country As if the argument of trees were done,

The doubts and quarrelling, the plots and pains,

All ended by these clear and gliding

Like an abrupt solution.

And over the flat earth of empty

The monstrous continent of air floats

Coloured with rotting sunlight and the black,

Bruised flesh of thunderstorms:

Air arched, enormous, pounding the bony ridge,

Ditches and hutches, with a drench of light,

So huge, from such infinities of height,

You walk on the sky's

While even the dwindled hills are small and bare,

As if, rebellious, buried, pitiful,

Something below pushed up a knob of skull,

Feeling its way to air.
