The Estuary

Your love turns me again.
My stream quickens to your measured quiet.
My mouth bites,
at the salt of you.
My stream quickens to your measured quiet.
The sea grass bends to you, tide.
At the salt of you.
The silver tongue of ebb and flow.
The sea grass bends to you, tide.
At the touch of your reed-smooth guile.
The silver tongue of ebb and flow.
The mullet begin to bite.
At the touch of your reed-smooth guile.
The yellow-bellied eel and kahawai run fat.
The mullet begin to bite.
The flax unravels and spins.
The yellow-bellied eel and kahawai run fat.
My green heart is in flood.
The flax unravels and spins,
for you.
My green heart is in flood.
My mouth bites,
at the skin of you.
Your love turns me again.
