is it good to hum, river?

page 230

is it good to hum, river?

beside the river i collect stones
who fall into the back of my car.

the one i can't carry we drag
by blanket.

through the bramble that the council have sprayed
the tongariro is a rotary motor.

each day of each month
of each decade there will
be the clash of water

& the soothing away of stone

at the lowest level
will be the trout
& a zoo of anglers

& we will say
this year the river is down
on its luck
