day middles out

for the Gore Cove Track Series

 

you could walk all the way

between lines some days  

 

say breeze please

hunt down shade

 

just foot fallen after foot

 

and where you touch a tree

there are deeps

that’s the sky come down

 

roots are sometimes a seaserpent dive

there’s the bay bedside

 

in certain falls of bark, a sign

 

day middling

water dragon power naps

turkey to kip retired

 

it’s all of this picture made   

middlemost

 

come to a stillness so

 

I think the centre of the day

 

they say an army can sleep marching

each else folded in

 

you can see how I’m here when I’m not

from these lines

 

a kookaburra startup then

 

the eye is a thing

just as guessed

but for the stone

still night – another world

 

and someone pumps this all around

keep a head at the top of the heart

 

the setting off just so

 

just waiting

for a sunshower

for a rainbow

waiting for the shade to follow me home

waiting for a star to fall
