I walk Alone

I often walk alone

through the black sands of memory

fleet footed past twisted driftwood

of thoughts on a fast running tide


Jagging at the blood shoot

and the sound of steam whistles

mutton on the chain

and then again

silver finned catches chasing whitebait

over the painted pole


Faintly now

the sound of wild West Coat surf

receding with time

from place and time


Far away and further still

from Egmont's cone

cold winds upon the breath of Tasman storms
