about

Warm, not rock, rock like melting Limestone, endless horizons and sand in your eyes:

-------------

out from Oreti
launch into vast darkness
the greatest
deepest southern basin

lights penetrate
the dark of nights
from where,
even though
impossible
to see,
where
the horizon
meets
the abyss
sailors trawl
beasts
from the deep

now
there's no lights on the skyline
the only lights are far
from beyond a billion miles

massive factories
from the north
crowded out
the tiniest of vessels
deep dredging
in a most
exhaustive
way

there is no room for the little

even more is consumed
in a process of more
for less
