fife notes …
dawn’s ocean boom
fills Anzac cove

 

summer night
the rain fragrance
of naked skin

kissing
where crossroads meet
the moon

 

so many things left to say scattered pine needles

 

log after log
through the cry of gulls
export

 

taking me on a slow curve pohutukawa   

 

spring moon
in a tidal stream . . .        
whitebait nets

 

low tide
the baby’s foot hanging out
of a buggy

 

autumn rain
the blurred pattern
of falling light

 

spinning late autumn light stalk to stalk gossamer
