Seasonal Greetings Card

 Stream of consciousness Seasonal Greetings Card Near enough to The Bay of Fires to warm your heart and inspire jealousy simultaneously nice.

       To whoever is freezing in Winter far away I dedicate.
  The evening before driving to Fingal, Emnicus the boat in port and the following morning the wheat growing wild on the hill blew softly with full ears arrayed and lovely and the snails mating, shooting hypodermic darts of anaesthetic drugs as supposed is their way in Spring lingering and the calendar lying  promise of Summer.  On the road out of town, short and winding stretch, branches fallen for storm and accompanying maintenance trucks obstruct slightly in the road slow traffic. Passing cement mixer death to environment someones new house more paving covered earth Earth the heathen beauty obscured covered wrapped concealed killed in a scarf swathed tightly constricted covered eventual death fungus growing underneath. I hate tarmac, cement and all obliterating tiny white granules of stone scattered on black and grey sandy rock bracken and orchids long tendrils of leaves olive green and their seed pods dried scattered. St Marys Pass new P's for sensitive people and tourists replace those usually stolen by drunks, tourists and people.      Grey Mare's Path, inexplicably 2 dead wallabies and 2 dead rabbits in car park. The eye of the wallaby still moist and brown.  One marsupial smaller, one rabbit disemboweled. Waterfall falling, stream empty, traffic streaming past on nearby road, trees charred, pennants strung across main street. I take the road to Cornwall. Antique and collectors shop, everything dusted, sequitairs in cement, Singers in the garden, an old Avon jug and sheet music circa when just? I do not know what that object is. I am devoid of the wish to purchase. Having disturbed the day and made doorbell ring I leave no money wanting nothing from this place leave empty handed feel hungry.  Drive on, sealed road ends further road impassable in this vehicle must turn back damn just getting interesting.  Delapidated houses with signs of occupation some extremely cared for intensely cultivated gardens wood rots, paint peels, forest snuggly encases hills. Lights glowing through gloom at Coal Office Prefabrication Plant on the drive back from Fingal. Had lunch in gravel car park of For Sale municipal building circa pre war era cement stairs leading up glass window slivered architectural sense of placement if no one buys this building will it live?          I must watch out for snakes if i walk in long grass.  Marsupial road deaths, cows and sheep in paddocks, flowers tumbling over fences, a thoughtful row of eucalyptus, memorials at accident scenes, gently blowing grasses, a pointy hill,  catapillar segmented articulated trucks driving away, raindrops, sheer drops, cliff face, Caltex star replaced with United groceries already passed. In the sky far from this a lunar eclipse aligns with a Solstice since never in 400 years thence.

         Be safe and ever joyous in the ice and on the beach.
          Seasonal Greetings.
