![]() ![]() Something bigger and better gnaws at the back of my head. You’re a pillar of salt and I’m a pillar of fire. Evenings on the porch smoking, drinking, sniffing. The little orange light next to the petrol gauge, shit everywhere and dirt on my boots. Heaven is just a place inside my head.Īre you coming to the Maid for pressos? A few off the pine? Friday night and five pills deep. From the scrub at Truro to the Kuitpo forest. You can circumnavigate the place by evil.

He pissed it up against the wall of course. The ‘Flats, the Reynella Wine Flies and a ’76 premiership. Through the ghost gums down to the log by the creek. A stubby holder rolling on the bitumen in the breeze. Dreams mangled round a Commodore chassis on the Port Vincent Road. Brown snakes in the dump in the paddock inside the old washing machines and kids’ toys. But you’re really just looking west over the shallow ditch to Curramulka. From the Grinch Dog’s over the Grange Jett you look out at the world. South of Heaven, where the hills hem you in against the ocean. There’s no more place such a hopeless existence is justified. A lonely lighthouse keeper, peering through the winter half light. ![]() Doubly unfortunate and doomed from the start.ĭrifting through the months and years. Lust, flesh, Yahweh, the New Boys and a southern cross tatt. Like a dying man, febrile and wrestling with the bed sheets. ![]() There’s too much pressure hunching over me. ![]()
