Afternoon at MM

A glider hangs

Bobs above rock and shrub

South side 

Breeze on blades

Of grass like the hairs on my arm

Shiver

The winds picked up this’arvo

I sit and stretch to see a whale 

They’ve been past

Last couple of hours 

Spotted near conno 

So the community Facebook says 

So I stretch out to where that pod 

Of dolphins were 

two days back

Those custodians that guide 

But nah

just whitewash combing the top

Wind swept waters 

Gammin me

We had our time

In sunrise swim 

Water warm after cold sand 

Stung my feet 

We had our time then

In Kneeling hands cupped

‘I am’ and 

‘Thank you’

I offered the land 

on my skin to salt water 

My homecoming 

Now the wind Shakes loose 

the remnants 

That glider still bobs Scooping 

current in sail

Feet skimming scrub

And my eye follows 

The line of haze on horizon

Expectant
