Written on .

all day long
Lake Ratapiko laps
a summer lament

Written on .

shrove tuesday
my whakapapa stacked
against me

Written on .

no moon tonight
for my words to muse on
bare-faced death

Written on .

just an apple
scored
beneath a tree

Written on .

all about
tundra
defrosting

Written on .

finale — 
the wind mumbles on
about bees

Written on .

the slow swell
of ripeness into
feijoas

Written on .

just this once
and no other

Written on .

acid reign
morphing words into
the one ring

Written on .

star-gazing
within Salome's
seven veils

Written on .

birth cry
the silence around
these words

Written on .

quiet now
flesh felt scent
aquiver

Written on .

day moon
light lives out
a lie

Written on .

morning light
is my awakening
again stillborn

Written on .

still unborn
the weight of light
in his coffin

Written on .

trailing off
in a whisper of wish
summer clouds

Written on .

breathing out
words of consecration
breathed out

Written on .

all the words
ever uttered
tidal flats

Written on .

toon world . . .
Mickey and Donald
take the cake

(post US Trump/Pence inauguration)

Written on .

dark is life
dark is death
das lied
von der erde

(after Gustav Mahler)

Written on .

far away —
the sound of water
filling gaps

Written on .

dawn chorus . . .
the theme echoes on
in the dew

Written on .

a vast sky —
shards of darkness
hold the whole

Written on .

heat wave . . .
a pond shuffles off
its sheen

Written on .

dawn vigil . . .
light, in silence,
becomes light

Written on .

desolate beach —
loneliness gnaws away
the edges

Written on .

somewhere a tv
numbs the sound of nothing —
moonless night

Written on .

morning fog —
brushstrokes from a dream
painting light

Written on .

traces of dreams . . .
high winds shape cumuli
pregnant with change

Written on .

fossil forest —
incoming waves obscure
a distant past
