Nightfall in Wyndham (Bunurong and Wadawurrung Country)

Desert expanse: gloaming-gilded
repetitions mapped on mudflats.
I trace the mosaic skeleton,
cup hexagons, my grip lukewarm.
Sand trickles: powdered bone
settles in icing sugar drifts,
dissolves in fissures, slick
promise tonguing cracked lips.
