autumn and the track

Gore Cove Track series

 

bracken rise

lizard skitter still

    damp

creek’s one way telling

 

and the track?

goes on underdrip

 

brushfowl in gladelight

ferns afoot

 

a little misted

mud further

 

some odd guitar, piano

among the calls of flight

 

to the harbour

to the sea

 

in the under leaf, stone

moss midst
lesser trails

and least

 

an ear for the mosquito

eye for ever up

 

then some sudden blue!

 

and here’s the sandstone sun presides

for whom we’ve waited all this way

a baton tip now still

 

 

 

 

 

in this pocket fallen out of the city

 

days may imagine

South Island lost

but then the phone must speak
