detail, flickering in the picture
where homelands seed
in the creaselines, placed
in the violet lucidity
of the dawning photograph,
edge frays in the waves,
they undo, and do
your face, recalcitrant line
where eyes can rest
aligning immanence
and momentary presence,
these bleached image fields
where the sky goes on

approaching close listening
stammer in actualities, greens
& subject's continuance,
river line threaded towards Taieri,
the gear shift of speaking
unwinding the catalogue
to simple nouns
hanging against clouds
as portals, vanishing points
carved in the ear's longing
an empty traintrack
a note repeating: a-a-a
