A MOMENT IN ANTARCTICA
AN EXTRACT FROM THE #REQUEST2021 PODCAST EPISODE 36 RECORDED ON LOCATION AT NEKO HARBOUR, ANTARCTICA WITH A SLIDESHOW OF PHOTOS TAKEN AT THE TIME.
INCLUDING MY SHORT POEM – ‘A MOMENT IN ANTARCTICA‘
A moment in Antarctica
Still
Hear that rumbling
The rumbling of glacial ice
Gentoo penguins leaping through the water
And there’s a magic
Deep in the ice there’s a tall ship
Three masts
A Dutch barque
And as the water laps up onto the shingle
It is almost as if the rocks are talking to me
Ice
Ice
Ah, there’s a seal coming right at me
See if I can film it
This just doesn’t happen
Here he is
There he is
The blow of the seal
(A.S. Noake, 13th January 2022)
