mid winterlight

Gore Cove Track Series

 

everything’s larger

 

with weather

and under a hat

 

no clock

but cloud to hide a sun

 

grass grows over rot

 

how old is what’s before?

 

brackish whiff

in leafspill

 

a sandstone wall

 

the dead stand a long while yet

and I, to catch breath

 

taking all this in

 

magpie riff

crow caw

 

touch of sky

or a voice thrown

 

stairs are an upward haul

 

so there’s my tide gone out

 

some hammering and unwise saws

bitter engines of the city hum

 

I come for the daydark here

 

make an X on the page

 

it’s wherever my feet fall

treasure marks the map
