what does the creek remember?

Gore Cove Track Series

 

shelves of stone

as timber down

 

take out the tide

laps in

 

make way for the powerful owl

 

here to remember what will be

 

make pace to suit what grows

 

wait for the day to interrupt

all of this third person

 

the city like a picture of money

each laughing at the others

to vanish in a puff

 

it’s like there’s an upstairs

climb as you will

 

everything tumbles to here

into place

 

some fall to rot

some rot to fall

 

there’s still a bounce

 

what does the creek remember?

nothing but the rush of cloud

the old stone washed

 

the turkey brushes its way

 

watch my step

and it’s gone
