lyrics

Black water pooling
Silver-streaked, like haematite, like pain
Down among the mangroves silent
Slopping and the chug of river
Boat between emerald claws,
Dark tripods squatting in brine.

Thin palings rising
Netted trellises where the fish
Crimsoned by night jump in arcs
Of serpentine silhouette
Against bamboo, sea-oak, palm
Of paradise in the sea-eagle’s clutch.

Here among these unending verges
Of bark and coral depths are plumbed
By the shadowed sailor walking
Over the night taff-rail where
Memory laps the fishing-stakes
With circles of ebb and wrack.

Slipping along the northerly coast of Mapur
(Pale sand and towering casuarina)
A solid rain pebbles waves like
Jewel-heavy greaves in ranks
Across a metal landscape, the water
Ranged in pride above its coral secrets.
