with Alistair Te Ariki Campbell, Helen Jacobs & Mark Pirie, June 3 2001
we parked the car by the memorial
to Taawao, the Ngapuhi missionary
which greets you as you arrive
on the final flat that horseshoes
round the bay to the wharf &
a collection of sheds & boatsheds --
it was full tide, a spring tide,
the water foreshortening the hills by
a myth or 2. we were too close
yet close enough
