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.
