be the poet of the track

Gore Cove Track Series

 

a kind of preservation

 

and who else haunts?

 

it’s moss

and autumn whiff in spring

 

renditions of wet and dry

 

it’s where the creek is singing

 

I smell tide out today

 

a berry smattering with gumnut

 

and go on with the work

 

sure of step

traipse

watch where my feet go

 

so many centuries’ sea

this shelf

laid down like these lines

 

like web hung in dry hollow

 

a twirl of vine

to touch running water

 

all of us turning to stone
