Apsley Gorge Rim Walk

out of Walcha

 

on sway bridge

where river meet

landslid scar

 

tufty and tussocky

 

black cypress

new england stringybark

snowgum

bendemeer white

grey box

 

how breezily they leaf it

limbs here

 

skinny and scratch

all rise

watch out sky

 

there’s all round edge

blue patching

where it might have your hat

 

flaking stones

clumsy blocks fallen

 

precarious the cliff catch

and creviced soil throws up green shoots

 

everywhere here’s where a snake went

 

and all around an edge

time tears at the stumbling day

 

roar of the Oxley highway behind

roar of the waters far falling

 

shone in the below pool

sky come on for grey
