three of us walk towards Merricks
our sole purpose to chase sunset
round two points follow magic light
eventually find view-place and sit

sun is deep gold and spreads its riches
through clouds, colouring them in gilt
as orb sinks below hilly horizon
warm rosy light through sky is spilt

magnificent deep red shades appear
and orange-yellow glow dissipates
in scoria-coloured rock pools, mauves
and magentas reflect spectacle ornate
