What Sweet Country is

Outback noon, cicadas scream against tin roofs. A wiry stockman drops a rifle outside a homestead’s sagging veranda, one boot scuffing blood into the red dust. A child’s doll lies abandoned in the doorway, its yarn hair singed. Chased by a sheriff’s hat flapping through the spinifex, the desert swallows the chase whole. War that starts with a rifle ends with the land reclaiming its silence.
