Kit Kelen #1038 - sit like a portrait for this view (ekphrastic) - Doris Lusk's 'Landscape Overlooking Kaitawa, Waikaremoana (1948)



1038
sit like a portrait for this view
ekphrastic
Doris Lusk's 'Landscape Overlooking Kaitawa, Waikaremoana (1948)

find a town at the brush end
in the between of lakes
where a sky folds hills

high as they come

track bends to the wheel that brought us
like shade and green light
we're here

everything lifted to have
trees eased away to pasture

scratch of ridge tipping
and cloud till

if the train ever came
it would wait for us here

sit like a portrait
for this view
