Tracks


Tracks...Robyn Davidson

Sunday Scribblings 2

young beautiful and restless
she decided to walk her camels
3000 miles
across the great gibson desert
to the indian ocean

the photographer
drove a thousand miles
out of his way to
leave her notes and water
at points along the way

she never did disclose
what was in those notes

no need to
looking at the photo
the chemistry flies off the page
burning holes in the ozone

    1. If It were not for the Australian government committed to creating hardship for the poor, the invasion of Isis, the outbreak of great white sharks along the coast, the ever increasing cost of living, dealing with humanity in general....I would feel fine....Thanks for asking:)

  5. The beauty of this tale was the implied romantic liaison with the photographer Rick Smolan. Let's hope it was the case!
