CHAMALEON / THE CHAMALEON – Lizard fingers enter the house saying you drew me out of darkness you set me against. The evening sky I flutter I tremble. My tail is the lost curve of the kiore moana. The little horse in flight. The tin fish by the window and clearest of all mirror image of my hand in silhouette dreamed out of darkness and the voices of children a long way off singing “Michael row the boat ashore”. The river the estuary the mudflats lizard and seahorse you drew me.
