I am leaving Australia

for the last time

again.

Life would be unbearable if we made ourselves conscious of it.

Fernando Pessoa

I let myself

this time see

it

Australia

life.

It was unbearable

it is

So vibrant 

so pulsing

so vivid and

alive

life.

I had to stop

looking much

of the time

I need to return after all

home

and be able to speak.
