Icebergs in Illulisat
In Disko Bay the growlers and the bergy bits
crack their knuckles, assemble for the birth.
It takes a musician’s ear to separate
the pattern – the falling notes from echoes
and returns, passed on by the underside
of waves. Not random but arrhythmic,
a natural if not melodic measure. We call
this an adventure, a reason to travel, but
remain as abstract as the lines of saturated
blues and bone-dry whites, drifting together
and apart.
