DAVID E. BARNES
The Swimmer- Cottesloe		

Strange, 
watching the ocean 
a wave roll across white sands:
only to leave as it arrives.

Stand on a rock-strewn groin; 
waves crash upwards --
fine spray mist- explodes,

and no matter which way you stand 
it hits you in the face.

Swim in it,
drift on its calmness;
it turns rough - buffeting you around:

its curved swirling mouth catches
pummels you

without remorse;
the waves roll-tumble-churning, 
swallows you then spits you out,

finally leaving you stranded-a beached whale.

All time is here; 
ancient seas, marsh, salt.
I walk up a flaming canyon.
Stones radiant with heat,
prickly pear, sage and rabbit-brush--
bare scorched things.

I clamber over a dry waterfall,
inhale warmth from pale baked clay, 
scatter panting lizards. 
In and out of light and shadow, 
the path narrows to a solitary juniper
against a sliver of sky.
On slopes claret-cup cactus blossom--
Light is scarlet, light is flowing.

Sand shifts, becomes damp, oozing.
Cottonwood leaves dance
to a wind not felt.
I hear a ticking on boulders,
a flare of water over a shelf 
of cool fern and a slow gathering 
of watery blooms, pink and yellow
--wandering seeds made fruitful.

I too am here.
