TRIATHLON
I’ve been looking for you
Leaping up coal-mountain’cline
descending through bell-woods
in mottled sunshine, sniffing
pursuing your smell, sprinting
over rocks of stone-lime
minted in parsnip, campion and time
I’ve been looking for you
Jumping in pools of jade moss, crossing
waters of jasmine and alabaster
monitor lizards rapping tails
in tropical lush, rushing
through clouds of wild bees
in serpentine dreams
I’ve been looking for you
Spurting forth on two wheels, pedalling
spinning in gales of Force Ten
through continents, cities,
roads with U bend, aching
eyes down, head-strong
until the ocean’s in view
I’ve been looking for you
Plunging into the deep, gurgling
like gannets diving for fish, drawing
breath from the slipstream, making
a wish, arriving
at the place where all soul mates meet
and know they’ve been found, murmuring
I’ve been looking for you.
