The real rulers of
New Zealand, in control of
Everything: the birds.

Blast from the Past:

Birds have never known
Borders, governments, or laws
And look how they soar

Fog rising up the
Mountain’s face, revealing the
Lush valley beneath

Blast from the Past:

The waters runs off
Into the mist
From which it came

Out from the world of
Mud, moss, and mush bursts forward
One excited dog

Blast from the Past:

Tail wagging, bouncing
A fury of excitement
But barking meanly

The mountain beckons.
The clouds warn. A storm’s coming.
Best to know your path.

Blast from the Past:

Scaling the mountain
Rainy, slippery, wishing
Humans had four legs

Its calm, slow waters
And meandering bank hide its
Secret personhood

(This one is about the Whanganui River.)

Blast from the Past:

Fumble through the fog.
Rivers go where the waters flood.
Vanish into dark.
