Paeroa is baking in the late afternoon heat Of a New Zealand summer's day The antique and collectibles shops on Belmont Road Are sultry hothouses, their ballet of oscillating electric fans Scarcely whisking the blood-viscous air I turn my back on them and round the corner onto Hall Street And ahead of me, borne on the bow-wave of a cooling breeze Appears a long ridge, far off, like a face from a dream At this distance it is as unanticipated as a razor's edge It's ten kilometres away and called Komata Reefs But in this moment I know only what I see An exclamation mark of nature So much itself I can take in nothing but The ridge in the golden hour's glow Hall Street evaporates like a mirage The fire station ahead, the cycle stand Its shop-front verandas and faded surface markings But all at once there is more to me than there was before There was the me before I turned that corner And the me that has existed since I set eyes on The astonishment of Komata Reefs Like a miner stumbling on a nugget of gold In my mind that ridge will always be air-honed Knife blade parched green against brutal blue At the end of Hall Street, Paeroa In the summer haze of the twenty-first century
