Kerri Shying R # 332 - Earth Moving in Newcastle



Earth moving in Newcastle
Ekphrasis (the ‘Resilience” sculpture, Tramsheds Park, Newcastle NSW. )

the first rubble on the foreshore
ballast of the ships   it held
the higgel-piggel mayhem
the San Francisco  earthquake
loaded into clippers
hauled    delivered   dumped

nineteen ninety one I wonder
when the earth moved
and shook   was all that crushed
bashed energy  
inheritance    and what
will be the cargo
of this new   thing 

this slick dick    white
by the lake     when you
crash the car    plead
not guilty  quote  resilience
the sculpture    you were
just dice   in a cup

  1. I love how that piece
    looks like a head, a finger
    like a stop on a flute
    at the edge of itself
    and the edge of the lake
    a car runs into it
    is its own damn fault
