Home thoughts 

It takes a lifetime to learn
the lay of this land:
river, creek, mountain, gully
 
Mt Roy, Treble Cone, Black Peak, Mt Burke
Mt Gold, Mt Maude, Motatapu, Matukituki
 
The lake, the lawn
 
Skylines, snowlines, fishing lines, washing lines:
the ties that bind
resonant, etched on your mind's eye,
your memory

After a long time living
breathing, here
 
You will know the daintiness
and fragility of birds
the clarity of light
and the certainty of frost -

After a life of standing in moonlit driveways and
dark gardens, craning to catch
the Southern Cross
 
You will know, and remember all this
so when you leave, you will feel the loss
the sing and pull of the line
that leads you
home.
