River's rage


It's been five days now
Since the highest point flow
And four rescuing
Anything
Nature starts recycling
Early morning
No time to waste
Mud to the waist
Simon is pale, Wendy in tears
Constant rain
Quick load, Unload
And start again
Hills of distorted treasures
Streets filled with collapsed mounds
A glass top I was looking for
Patient Charlie
Two big boys and their mama 
Simon helps
Dex feeds
Another day
Terrible smell
No one yet, 
Forgot the ropes and the key
He stopped coffee and cut the chain
The old man gives a right and a left
And here we are
Trailer and all
Under the rain
Gum boots for all
A pie gift
An angel cared for my eyes
And two mountains for my back
Patient Charlie
Packing for others
Jewelry and tiny boxes
It's time to go uphill
So heavy, so muddy
Challenged wheels
And yet we made it!
Now time is a friend
But Lismore?
