Desert Road

(A poem about the Rangipo Desert in New Zealand. Dedicated to Aaron Huggett.)

 

 

Just like Steven Spielberg's Duel,

there's a slow, steady climb

up a dusty 45º incline,

then Down Down, like the Quo we go

between advancing pylons ~

transfers of Tripods

stuck to the windows.

 

New beginnings.

A verdant overture.

Kiwi men trade in their spouses

at the National Trout Centre.
