Aftermath
Perth's raincloud
continued eastward
at a high altitude
confirmed dourly
the Nullarbor's
nullarborness
added to withering
Adelaide's
abstention from rain
weakened over the Western
District by watering
the windbreaks of Warrnambool
reached Melbourne
at long last silently
moistening with a lick
and a broken promise
my dying suburban
postage-stamp garden.
