#2109 - Ferndene Gorge

 



2109

6.282

9.x.25

crepuscular, Ferndene Gorge

near Penguin

 

they are grown up among the fallen

in a forest of the rain

 

barkslip, mudrun

everywhere up in gully green

 

stone’s alive and furred to show

a degree of lean in all that rises

 

everything here is grown over with weather

 

little world precipitous

the track has a pyjama bounce

 

a tunnel trompe l’oeill emergence –

my page collecting afterfalls

 

the teastream trickles on

there are giants still stand

 

some reach up through a breath of mist

stairs lead down now into dusk

 

there could be platypus here

who knows?

 

take a next breath

see how it was given

 

I don’t need any blade or cash bonus

I am only by virtue of this

 

unseen creatures sense my presence

and go
