Surfeur.(Translation) . Poem by Michael Walker

Surfeur.(Translation) .

Au point le surfeur
Sur la houle levant
En traversant habilement dans la voute
Se glisse en evitant la face du roc
Tout mouvement fluide et
Dynamisme comme il semble en
Harmonie parfaite avec la mer.
Dans la tumulte du courant sous-marin
Comme si par une loi arcane...
Le surfeur disparait.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The bodysurfer does not use a surfboard. He is surfing to the shore on a very high wave, near rocks, and is caught by an undertow and disappears. The poet catches the action at its crisis point, just before the drowning.
I chose this poem partly because I used to go surfing often on the West Coast beaches near Auckland. I only used a surfboard a couple of times.
