For Jim, who died on December 23, 2003.
After receiving the news I
plunged my hands beneath
a scum of bubbles.
The dishwater cooled
as I watched
smoke
leak through a hole
in the hedge
and the links of the chain
flowed over my hands like
paper chains
for a child’s party.
The weather
couldn’t make up its mind
as we drove towards Pukerua Bay
a red tide of harakeke flowers
swelled over the swamp.
I said goodbye to you
while the country rolled
underneath us, and darkness
rushed all around.
In the BP station at midnight
the man’s voice was muffled.
I pushed my money onto the tray
as he handed me my purchases
- two cans of V and a map
of the North Island - our fingers
touched over Hauraki.
