Fugacity ‘05
girl in the sea
girl in the ‘c’
FU
GA
CI
TY
sand on foot on hand on time
and tide
on Pegasus Bay
Port Hills away in mists
Autumn’s icy breath speaks
an unexpected snow and hail couplet
onto a Bethell party
making the paths as slippery
as old relationships
poetry footprinted in snow
and sand
and tide and time
seducing a hibiscus flower
from her ‘c’
into the sea
where the girl stands
a stanza in black
against Bethell’s
red on grey
red on grey
red on grey
