Low Tides!

Image result for mud flat
Low Tides.
I walk beside you
Across mud flats in
My blue gumboots,
Over crackling oyster shells,
Green ribbed pipi, the traces of wading birds

When the tide is out, what lies exposed:
River threads of mud, old brown stones,
Tiny muscles yet to grow:
My soul prints left
On the oceans
Bones .

  1. Kia Ora Justice, its Franklin from Grey Main school. That is a good piece of writing. That reminds me of in Golden Bay collecting pipes on the mud flats. Tino pai tau mahi (good work).
