come out into the sun

assertions of presence

haiku/ senryu set for the Gore Cove Track Series

 

come out into the sun

lizard hunting

I can’t see you either

 

dragonflight

leaf breeze twirling

the singing high up goes unseen

 

mangrove tide wading

noon still, plash

city hum behind

 

in the remnants of the fire

a flower

this was long ago

 

in all the broad harbour

world washing up

look down and you’ll see the sky

 

rhythm of words

feet follow

so we go

 

walk faster than the sun

to keep my skin

plain white

 

pause to catch a breath uphill

one line down

go on

 

the leaf blower

‘enough bloody noise pollution’

I yell at the top of my lungs

 

there isn’t a track

I have no camera

wilds are away in me

 

step after step

after step after step

not even nearly gone
