Description

FoxtonBeach

There is a roadsign on this beach

And With your home built beach buggy you can

scare a flock of godwits back to theArctic

People Wobbled in the heat waves

Motorbikes twinkled like sand

Men looked completed possessing boats

Estuarine swamps heaved under traffic

No crystal waves here

People urged forward into leisure;

sea punched it out of them-

Dogs shat on pipis

Pipis ducked for cover

We get two rubbish bags full in twentY minutes

Easy to see Bits of humanity like anemones

And to think that I owe you my life, Tangaroa

You hand me water

Men wait for kahawai,mullet

Meditating under cover,

Waiting

Midget houses crouch against Tawhirimatea

She knows it will be a win win situation

She loves that word reciprocity
