Only when I become
winter wilderness:
enduring marram,
(super high tide wrenched-up
the unlucky, strewn on muddy sand,
soiled hay rotting
for shod feet to tramp
bordering the long
beige foreshore);

when fingers slow
become the cold
air assailed them for hours,
(gloves off fumbling
for camera icons, shutter triggers);
and inside mind is dusk,
geese-squabbling unseen edges,
there will be peace.

There will be peace
when floors of sunken forests gloom
shell-bored, boggling biome
(rooty at their edges) into me;
and their ten thousand years
of swashed and puddled inconsequence -
a flake of knapped flint
for a makeshift scraper - re-enters
the mind after arthropod rummages
and long stony silences.

Where I sit to type up this
apotheosis of white hiss
one more time,
Holme-home be gone,
civilized florals
post-hole memories
dream-denizened.
