The car rattles down the dirt road,
potholes and wheel treads
rocking us with a threatening
amount of force. It feels safe
as it roars and dips over the red
dust roads.
The headlights bounce and flash
as we round the large bend.
The stars shine brightly above,
the only other light in this off-road
maze of trails that lead us to stillness.
The conversation has died,
a necessity and concession
to the the thunderous rumble
of a tiny car in the Pilbara.
