LANDING AT NELSON
|//1TH throttle eased she dipped towards the belt Of scraggy pines on the stunted island, flew on Dropping always to the runway, then felt For the rising earth. Turned, lunged to the landing’s end Touched, bounced till earth and air were locked Where terminal joys begin, ears blocked, Reach for camera and coat. Walking we unlearn an aerial grace March earthwise on legs not quite our own And wonder can we face The bus to town.
