#1439 - breather

 



1439

10.xii.23

breather

ekphrastic for S.T. Gill’s 1856 ‘North Bondi Bay’

 

ghost of a bird

and perchless

 

at scrambling height

coat tails flown

above the spray

 

cone of gulls

scattered like light

lost to a plate

 

rocks broken with waves

 

horizon steaming away 

arrested

 

a view as round

as sea

as sky

 

a cloud as far as day
