————————————————————————————————————–
I read this morning that Jesus walked out…
today on Cornwallis wharf
there was not a soul risking life or limb
on the water
2 Tongans expertly cast nylon
in wet weather orange
at the far end
————————————————————————————————————–
and down under
squat round piles
a splattering
of plankton cookie cutter shapes
rivals the finest Joan Miró
strewn rainbow petroleum mirrors
carried in grudgingly by tiny brown waves
————————————————————————————————————–
today
the wind and waves
do not obey
Tāwhiri mātea blows
Tangaroa vomits
and I am feeling a little queasy
