slippery

slow down to the pace of the city

Gore Cove Track Series

 

after great rains

a sudden sun

collect it on one’s back

 

it’s just a hum away, the town

grown fat on its views

yacht forested

 

bird sat post still

as if waiting

one green eye at      

 

and patching in the bracken

heals close

duck where the tree’s half down

 

it’s all afoot for the track

slippery at pace

as everyone comments

 

an underhat wintering here

I take flight myself

might as well be gone
