This is based on something we saw on our holiday in North Queensland.
Cape Tribulation
Around its motionless scales the earth
and air teem with life. Fangs bared,
it gapes at the empyreal sky
from the hot night tarmac. It receives
the ancient light of its stars.
It is elemental.
Coaly eyes absorb the luminescence
of eons, older than all its ancestors.
In the vastness, the stars go back forever.
