Strange light of summer sun
hanging like orb of copper
suspended in soft gauze
Strange smell of summer smoke
oppressive like winter fog
but much too hot
Strange sound of summer birds
with the soft pedal on
subdued, surreal
Bushfires far away seem much too close
and yet the light is beautiful
almost transcendental...
