A crisp white

I look like the condensation on this glass today, the humidity is so high :-)



Sounds of Then (This is Australia)
(M.Callaghan)

I think I hear the sounds of then,
And people talking,
The scenes recalled, by minute movement,
And songs they fall, from the backing tape.
That certain texture,that certain smell,

To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets,
In brick veneer on financed beds.
In a room, of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell,
Brings home the heavy days,
Brings home the the night time swell,

Out on the patio we’d sit,
And the humidity we’d breathe,
We’d watch the lightning crack over canefields
Laugh and think, this is Australia.

The block is awkward - it faces west,
With long diagonals, sloping too.
And in the distance, through the heat haze,
In convoys of silence the cattle graze.
That certain texture, that certain beat,
Brings forth the night time heat.

Out on the patio we’d sit, (etc)

It looks so cool and lovely. We've been reading and seeing stories about the serious effects of your heat wave. May it soon pass and hopefully all those who suffered will get relief.

Excellent ! -V-

Excellent capture of the condensation, but I also like the suspended bubbles. Personally I prefer ice water. Though on a day like this, ideally in a 44 gallon drum rather than a glass.

cheers...lovely texture on the glass with the water on the glass
