about
Jungle Desert Stars is a line out of a poem by Randolph Stowe.
His sister, Helen McArthur, gave us permission to transform his poetry and voice.It starts with the laugh of a hundred and four years old lady....
lyrics
Jungles, deserts, stars, the six days of creation came floating in, gold on a chute of light.
We worship nature in my country, in my country
We worship nature in my country
We worship nature in my country
Jungles, deserts, stars, the six days of creation, came floating in, gold on a chute of light.
A photographer came from The West Australian and then teenage reportredses. Teachers of botany overflowed into the garden. Indeed, trains were run from Yalgoo and Oodnadatta, but the neighbours slept behind sealed doors, with feather dusters besides their beds.
Still life
In a sudden stillness
the Easter lilies she gave me
from her jungle garden
occupy the room.
Could she have known?
Eyes locked on eyes
Hands locked on hands
And on the table
Two watches whisper
We worship nature in my country,
We worship nature, in my country, in my country
When, among new leaves and tender tendrils, the first green grape flowers appeared, wine rejoiced and the drunken casks danced in the cellars.
And what have I to have leave, but this encumbering tenderness, like gear for ever unclaimed.
