for you at home
an invitation:
take as half hour stroll
by the Kwoorabup
between bridge in town
&
footbridge near the inlet
keep an eye out for snakes
if things are warming up
take time to touch skin
of ancient paperbarks along the way
watch birds fish
& ski into land on water
listen to rustling sedges at edges
imagine
beneath this path
footprints all the way from
60,000 years ago to now
when you almost reach the bridge
at the far end of this long river walk
the last five steps you take
measures the fraction of this journey
that represents the fraction of time
that white feet have also
walked this way
…
this is long loved land
beneath our feet
&
long may love live here
for many generations to come
