A Little More
From the Black Book Two
sighing in the wind
the gums shed red
autumn tears 255
red tears
autumn gums
shed the wind 255v
a crimson carpet
beneath the pohutukawa
the tide ebbs 256
crimson steps
under pohutakawa
an ebbing tide 256v
fish bones on the beach
amongst the seaweed
a suitable grave 257
beach seaweed
a suitable grave
for fish bones 257v
cold night
a worried gardener
sits by the fire 258
by the fire
a worried gardener
this cold night 258v
every day
the sun sets
at Whakaipo bay 259
Whakaipo
every sunny day
the sun sets 259v
grey skies
the day too
waits in the rain 260
the day too
waits in rain -
a sky 260v
brush stroke spider webs
sliding by -
buttercup meadow 272
sliding by
a brushed stroked meadow
spider webs 272v
sliding by
a meadow brush stroked
by spiders webs 272v2
on a leaf
the sun forgot -
the perfect bead of dew! 274
summer sun
under the leaf
a bead of dew 274v
summer sun
under the leaf
dew 274v2
butterfly
above the maple tree -
Taj Mahal shadows 277
Taj Mahal
in the shadow of maples
a butterfly 277v
