To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets,
In brick veneer on financed beds.
In a room, of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell,

Brings home the heavy days,
Brings home the night time swell,

Out on the patio we'd sit,
And the humidity we'd breathe,
We'd watch the lightning crack over canefields
Laugh and think, this is Australia.

The block is awkward - it faces west,
Long diagonals, and sloping too.
And in the distance, through the heat haze,
In convoys of silence the cattle graze.

That certain texture, that certain beat,
Brings forth the night time heat.

Hey, just for shitz n giggles I actually tried that fd. With such a narrow search like that the outcome was only 133,000 links to dig through. Maybe gruff would like to sort through that list and lemmekno the answer to my query.

Even better though I was really just hoping Temuchin would pipe up and end the mystery :>

It is by a band called Gangajang.

Had a great film clip and from memory Coke used it in an ad a few years back

Many thanks Temuchin! As a fledgling poet myself I always appreciate stimulating work. Not an easy task to generate a thought, much less a scenario in anothers mind.

Most literature and poetry as a vein in that realm is crap including the great majority of my own work. Yet every so often something of real value surfaces.

I truly enjoyed the poem, and thank you for sharing the source.
