Perception depends
on the angle of light
the way it might creep
under advancing clouds
(the sinister green of a cold front)
or through soft foliage
(the yellow green of tawa)
aesthetic light
seen after sunrise
or before sunset
when shadows are long
and valleys deep.
beyond certain latitudes
say, Hebridean light
or antipodean light
over subantarctic herb fields;
light soft – better at high latitudes
where colours are muted
and sound softened.
