Poem

the 26th of september 2000


Here is a poem written in Malana after a day of intermittent rain and rolling thunder clouds. I think the quality of the cream speaks for itself.

    the mountains cloud white
    up the whisking vale
    in tusks of white fleet
    rolling
    rolling on themselves
    like enlacing gods
    scoop the valley floor
    then throw fog
    in grey concubessance
    and all is enveloped
    hill upon hill
    mountain over mountain
    and all the way down to the dark carp
    in the streams.
    The pines hold the fog in their hands
    like crystal fingers
    and yet the fog slips through them
    like time.

    I roll in thunderous procession,
    thinks the great grey wonder,
    I circle like a screw over people
    and their gods and their homes
    and their chickens.
