the stone, another sky gift

Gore Cove Track series

 

time crafted

slippery days after

 

here’s tall standing

 

come to the creek’s small roar

 

we run

 

a thicket of shadow

a bird’s nest

 

voices high

and the train

and gone

 

moss and leaf are travellers too

 

a far sudden autumn it is

 

stumps up

each stone a map of ancient tides

 

I lean

 

I myself the track

and fall on

like an object in orbit

not quite down

though we touch

this one horizon

 

the tree is ever reaching

the tune is in the tree
