Bring me a shrubbery

out on the edge

hot as a sauna

dry as the desert

but close enough

to the coast

to mix the variables

shaken not stirred

on a clear day

you can see

the snow on the mtns

from the beach towns

fertile soil

million dollar properties

bursting from the red dust

climates that beat

the winter devil

the sea will take it all back

in it's time
