We leave at dawn. All around us
the real-estate of an impossible dream
littered with the seasonâs picnics.
This clumsy tumbril, these groaning drays â
these phrases must convey us
to a frontier already made redundant
by brochures. Mouth filled
with grey, glacial water, Julius von Haast
lies: not a man, and not a river
but a sediment of words
dredged against banks where the
clearfell flinches, against
mirror lakes whose reflections of tourists
are immobilised by nostalgia.
A grey skein of maps unravels to the interior.
This perspective which improbably broadens
with distance â this too, cataracted, misty and sublime,
alluvial gold overhung by vivid moss â this too
lays down its barrage of signage before us.
