Murray River Poem (for Les Murray) by Lisa Gorton Rivers start the way dreams turn into morning as early rain makes the sound of days commuting: song of the soft-shoe horde for idlers and layabouts with the sound of stilettos window-shopping whenever leaves feed their pure ideas to shadow: Out of Kosciusko near Mount Cobberas past Khancoban, out of the high places from the hunter’s long raging hunger- But it is not its names the river repeats as if trying to memorise something. It is made of fingers that hold you in the current of forgetting and what it collects: Anabranches, scrolls, meanders, billabongs and backwaters, shoals or shadows, snags, a taste of vegetable decay- Some rivers travel as the subconscious of light but our one big river is dirt-coloured and deliberate. And where it goes in straight canals through the Mallee plains, it is as we imagine forbearance to be. This piece is from Press Release (Giramondo Poets). Lisa Gorton was the inaugural winner of the Vincent Buckley Poetry Prize. We thank Lisa warmly for her generosity in allowing us to republish this piece in Platform. Page 62
