Subject: Cattle Duffing

2am
Somewhere in the Australian Outback
Dark Shadows reach out accross vast plains
The sounds of the night
Stars light up the sky, a myiad of tiny lights
A cow calls to its calf
Camels challenge each other
A sound of an old Bedford Van
Quiety it makes its way accross sandy spinnifex
No road does it follow
It stops
Shadows move, dust stirs almost invisible
Suddenly the sound of motorbikes
Whirring and and turning
Loud whispering, a shadow curses
Bloody Hell
A shadowy arm beckons
Cattle run and turn,
Sound and scuffling almost quietly
Thud, bang
Bikes roar into action, circling
Suddenly all is silent again
Somewhere a metal door slams
A locking sound
A engine almost silent roars out into the distance
Darkness and quiet returns
The phantoms have gone
The peace of the vast plains regains its hold
Somewhere next day in a city beyound
Cattle are unloaded
A shadowy figure is handed a wad
He counts and smiles under his slouch hat
He will be popular at the pub today
Tomorrow?
Oh Well, night is going to be a dark one again
