Looking Back at the Charles Fergusson Building with the Benefit of Hindsight and a 2,500 Tonne Vessel

1989
on the ferry
leaving town felt necessary
In a mouth-shaped harbour
the teeth recede
out to the lips
where the waters heave

Through the Heads …

Down to the Sounds
shudder of engines
turn the screws
of reinvention
arrive in Picton
reward your boredom
walk the wreck there’s no restoring

Round the wreck …

Remember how it felt like fiction
Stepping outside of our lives
He said he was Jesus of Picton
And she believed him
Oh she believed him … for a while

In her head …
